Clavam Dry Syrup 30 mL

Clavam Dry Syrup 30 mL is an oral antibiotic suspension that contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid after reconstitution, supplied as a 30 mL bottle from Alkem Laboratories, India. It belongs to the penicillin-class antibiotic combination products and is used to treat bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Doctors may prescribe Clavam Dry Syrup 30 mL for infections such as ear, sinus, throat, chest, skin, urinary tract, and some dental infections when the bacteria may produce beta-lactamase.

How it works: Amoxicillin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the building of their cell wall, which weakens and destroys the bacteria. Clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that would otherwise break it down, so the syrup can work against a wider range of germs.

The 30 mL bottle is a small-volume syrup presentation, which can be convenient when a child or adult needs a short course or an exact measured amount of medicine. Because it is a dry syrup that must be mixed before use, it is easier to swallow than tablets and lets the prescriber tailor the dose by volume rather than by tablet size.

• Bacterial ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Chest and bronchial infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections

• Mix the dry syrup with clean water exactly as directed before the first use, then shake well until fully uniform.
• Measure each dose with the supplied device, not a kitchen spoon, to avoid underdosing or overdosing.
• Take Clavam Dry Syrup 30 mL at the times your doctor prescribes; it is often taken with food to reduce stomach upset.
• Shake the bottle well before every dose because the medicine can settle.
• Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each bottle provides 30 mL of reconstituted Clavam Dry Syrup, so the actual number of doses depends on the volume your doctor prescribes per dose. It may be taken once, twice, or three times daily depending on the infection and patient age/weight, but the exact schedule must be set by the prescriber. Do not exceed the daily amount your doctor recommends, because the safe maximum is individualized for this strength and this medicine combination.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
