I gave my child Clavam Forte Dry Syrup, and the next day, after reconstitution, the colour of the medicine changed. Can I still use it?
If Clavam Forte Dry Syrup changes colour after reconstitution, it is not safe to use. Once mixed with water, this antibiotic should be stored as directed (usually refrigerated) and used within the recommended time frame; a colour change may indicate degradation, contamination, or loss of potency. The safest approach is to stop using the medicine and consult your paediatrician immediately, who can advise whether a fresh preparation is needed and ensure your child receives the correct treatment, as antibiotics must be taken in the right dose and form to be effective and safe.
