Aquaclav Suspension 228.5mg (100ml)
Aquaclav Suspension is a broad-spectrum co-amoxiclav antibiotic syrup formulated for children and adults. It combines Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid to treat bacterial infections that standard amoxicillin may not be able to clear. This "syrup" or liquid form is ideal for pediatric patients and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
What is the Work of Aquaclav Suspension?
Aquaclav works by killing bacteria that cause common infections. While amoxicillin stops bacterial growth, clavulanic acid protects the amoxicillin from being destroyed by certain resistant bacteria. This dual-action makes it highly effective for:
- Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Infections: Including earaches (otitis media), sinusitis, and tonsillitis.
- Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as chest infections (bronchitis) and pneumonia.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): For treating bladder or kidney infections.
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Including infected bites or dental abscesses.
How to Prepare and Use
This medication is supplied as a powder and must be reconstituted (mixed with water) before use.
- Mixing: Use boiled and cooled water. Fill the bottle up to the marked line.

- Storage: Once mixed, store the bottle in a refrigerator (2°C - 8°C). Do not freeze.
- Completion: It is critical to finish the entire prescribed course, even if the patient feels better sooner, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
