How it works
Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
Quick Tips

Stop Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash facial swelling or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup?
Before starting Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup, inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking. Additionally, consult with their doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Your child's doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged therapy to ensure their condition is being properly managed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop administering this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve. The infection may still be active, and continued medication is necessary to ensure its complete elimination.
Can the use of Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Swamiclav BID Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to the killing of harmful bacteria and potential disruption of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If diarrhea persists, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult with a doctor if dehydration symptoms appear.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics, as this is a common symptom during a cold that can last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt attention.
