Aquaclav Suspension 228.5mg (100ml)

Aquaclav Suspension is a broad-spectrum co-amoxiclav antibiotic syrup formulated for infants, children, and adults. It combines Amoxicillin (a penicillin-type antibiotic) and Clavulanic Acid (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) 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 treating:

• 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.

1. Mixing: Use boiled and cooled water. Fill the bottle up to the marked line on the label.
2. Shake Well: Always shake the bottle vigorously before measuring a dose.
3. Storage: Once mixed, store the bottle in a refrigerator (2°C - 8°C). Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion after 7–10 days.
4. Completion: It is critical to finish the entire prescribed course, even if the patient feels better sooner, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Important Precautions

• Allergies: Do not use if there is a history of penicillin or cephalosporin allergy.
• Side Effects: Common side effects include mild diarrhea or nausea. If a severe rash, itching, or yellowing of the eyes occurs, stop use and seek medical help immediately.
• Consult a Pharmacist: For advice on dosage for babies or usage during pregnancy, contact a GoMed pharmacist.

Note: Aquaclav is a prescription-only medicine (POM). Always follow the specific instructions from your doctor or healthcare provider.
