About Augvin CV Dry Syrup

Augvin CV Dry Syrup is used to treat bacterial infections in the body that affect the skin, soft tissues, lungs, ears, urinary tract, and nasal sinuses. It should be mentioned that viral infections like the flu and the common cold are not treated by this medication.

Augvin CV Dry Syrup consists of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. This medicine works by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). As a result, it helps treat infection and reduce the further spread of infection. Augvin CV Dry Syrup does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

Not everyone who is taking Augvin CV Dry Syrup will get these side effects. The common side effects of Augvin CV Dry Syrup include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

You can take Augvin CV Dry Syrup with food to avoid any stomach upset. It should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, crush, or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you should take your medicine based on your medical condition. It is always important to complete your treatment course for better results.

Before starting Augvin CV Dry Syrup, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or any other components. Do not take Augvin CV Dry Syrup on your own as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Augvin CV Dry Syrup is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breadfeeding before taking Augvin CV Dry Syrup.

How Augvin CV Dry Syrup Works

Augvin CV Dry Syrup consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Augvin CV Dry Syrup does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.
