Acuclav DS Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used to treat infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria.

Acuclav DS Syrup contains Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin kills infection-causing bacteria by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin.

Acuclav DS Syrup may cause side effects such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.

Avoid giving Acuclav DS Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Uses of Acuclav DS Syrup

Acuclav DS Syrup is used in the treatment of bacterial infections in children. The detailed uses of Acuclav DS Syrup are as follows:

  • Treating Bacterial Infections: Acuclav DS Syrup treats various bacterial infections in children, including respiratory tract infections and ear infections, with its antibiotic properties.
  • Sinusitis Management: Acuclav DS Syrup helps to manage sinusitis by treating bacterial infections that cause sinus inflammation, alleviating symptoms like facial pain and congestion.
  • Skin Infections: Acuclav DS Syrup is used in treating skin and soft tissue infections by targeting and eliminating the bacteria that cause the infection.
  • Urinary Tract Infections: Acuclav DS Syrup is indicated for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) by targeting the bacteria causing the infection, providing relief from symptoms, and supporting recovery.
  • Dental Infections: Acuclav DS Syrup is also used in the treatment of dental infections, including dental abscesses and oral infections, promoting healing and relieving pain.

Key Benefits

  • Acuclav DS Syrup is used in children to treat respiratory tract infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and dental infections.
  • Amoxicillin weakens and damages the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial death and stopping the spread of infection.
  • Clavulanic acid blocks the beta-lactamase enzyme produced by certain bacteria, ensuring amoxicillin remains effective.
  • It helps in quicker resolution of symptoms by effectively targeting and eliminating infection-causing bacteria.
  • Acuclav DS Syrup is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including both aerobic (oxygen-dependent) and anaerobic (non-oxygen-dependent) bacteria.

Directions for Use

  • Acuclav DS Syrup can be given to your child with food to avoid stomach upset.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
  • Check the label for directions before use. Shake the bottle containing the powder and open the cap. Add freshly boiled and cooled water up to the mark of the bottle and shake well to form the suspension. Add more water if required to make up to the mark.
  • Measure the prescribed dose using the measuring cup/dropper provided with the pack and administer it orally to your child.
  • Shake well before use.
Acuclav DS Syrup is a combination medicine containing Amoxycillin (penicillin- antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. Together, Acuclav DS Syrup helps treat bacterial infections.
