About Flemiclav Kid Syrup

Flemiclav Kid 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.

Flemiclav Kid 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. Flemiclav Kid Syrup does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

Not everyone who is taking Flemiclav Kid Syrup will get these side effects. The common side effects of Flemiclav Kid 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 Flemiclav Kid 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 Flemiclav Kid Syrup, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or any other components. Do not take Flemiclav Kid Syrup on your own as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Flemiclav Kid 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 Flemiclav Kid Syrup.

How Flemiclav Kid Syrup Works

Flemiclav Kid 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. Flemiclav Kid Syrup does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
  • Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of Flemiclav Kid Syrup in order to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines 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, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Flemiclav Kid Syrup as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Flemiclav Kid Syrup in fighting off infections.
