Bactoclav DS 457 Dry 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. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. These bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bactoclav DS 457 Dry Syrup effectively treats infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Bactoclav DS 457 Dry 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.
