Can Molav-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?

Yes, Molav-CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea.

Do not give any medication to your child without consulting a doctor.

Is there any sign which indicates immediate medical attention?

You must contact your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are severe and require expert attention.
