About Cloff Dry Syrup

Cloff Dry Syrup belongs to a group of medicine called macrolide antibiotics derived from Saccharopolyspora erythraea (originally called Streptomyces erythreus), used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Antibiotics inhibit the growth of microorganisms and are given to treat bacterial infections.

Cloff Dry Syrup contains Clarithromycin (antibiotic). It inhibits the protein synthesis process required for the growth of the bacterial cell. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. Thus, Cloff Dry Syrup helps in the prevention of infections.

Like all medicines, Cloff Dry Syrup may cause some common side effects, including feeling sick (nausea), diarrhoea and being sick (vomiting), loss of appetite, bloating and indigestion, headaches and difficulty sleeping. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any of these side effects persist or worsen your child’s condition, inform your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor about your child's entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with Cloff Dry Syrup unless prescribed by a doctor. Even if your child is feeling better, do not miss any dose and complete the entire course of medication. Stopping the medication too soon may cause the infection to recur or worsen.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to give probiotics after taking the full course of Cloff Dry Syrup to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast) can help with diarrhoea from antibiotics.
  • Give plenty of water to the child. Staying hydrated is important, especially when you’re child sick.
  • Eating a broad range of plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses and wholegrains helps to build a healthy gut microbiome.
  • Avoid feeding too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks because they may interfere with the functioning of Cloff Dry Syrup.
