Clavam Forte 30 mL Dry Syrup

Clavam Forte 30 mL Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in a 30 mL dry syrup bottle. It belongs to the penicillin-class antibiotics plus a beta-lactamase inhibitor, and it is used to treat certain bacterial infections such as ear, throat, sinus, chest, skin, urinary tract, and dental infections when prescribed by a doctor. This product is the dry syrup form, which is made into a liquid before use and is intended for patients who may have trouble swallowing tablets.

How it works: Amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building the cell wall they need to survive, which helps kill the infection-causing germs. Clavulanic acid helps protect amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that would otherwise break it down, so the liquid antibiotic can work against a wider range of bacteria.

Clavam Forte 30 mL Dry Syrup is a pediatric-friendly liquid formulation, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants flexible, measured dosing rather than a tablet strength. Because it is a dry syrup that is reconstituted before use, it can be easier to swallow and may be preferred for children or adults who need a liquid antibiotic. The exact dose is individualized by the prescriber based on age, weight, and the infection being treated.

• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Throat infections
• Chest/lung infections
• Skin infections
• Urinary tract infections

• Prepare the dry syrup exactly as directed by the pharmacist or label before the first dose.
• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure each dose with a proper oral syringe or medicine spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
• Take it at the times prescribed by your doctor; many patients are told to take it with food to reduce stomach upset.
• Finish the full course even if symptoms improve earlier.
• Store the reconstituted suspension only for the time directed on the label and discard any leftover medicine when the course is done.

Each bottle provides 30 mL of reconstituted Clavam Forte 30 mL Dry Syrup, and the doctor selects how many milliliters to give per dose. Depending on the infection, it may be taken twice daily or at another schedule your prescriber chooses, and there is no one-size-fits-all maximum for all patients because dosing is based on age, weight, kidney function, and severity of infection.

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

Common side effects of Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid may include:

• Diarrhea

• Do not use if you have a known allergy to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, penicillins, or cephalosporin antibiotics unless a clinician says it is safe.
• Tell the prescriber if you have had liver problems, jaundice, or antibiotic-associated diarrhea in the past.
• Use caution if the patient has kidney disease, because dosing may need adjustment.
• This dry syrup may contain sweeteners or flavoring agents; check the label if the patient has diabetes, sugar restrictions, or phenylketonuria.
• Take only as prescribed; using too little can fail to clear the infection, and using too much can increase side effects.
• If diarrhea becomes severe, bloody, or does not go away, contact a clinician promptly.
• If you become dizzy or unwell after taking it, avoid driving or other tasks that need alertness until you know how you react.
