Moxclav BD DS 457mg Suspension is an antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections affecting the ear, nose, throat, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is also effective against tuberculosis that has not responded to other treatments. This suspension can be administered to children with or without food, although giving it with food can help improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. The dosage and frequency of administration prescribed by the doctor depend on the severity of the infection, the type of infection, and the child's weight and age. It is essential to follow the prescribed dose and schedule strictly. In case of vomiting within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, wait for the child to settle down before re-administering the dose. Avoid doubling the dose if it is time for the next scheduled dose.

Moxclav BD DS 457mg Suspension comprises two key ingredients – Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid – which belong to the penicillin antibiotics group. Amoxycillin works by destroying the outer protein layer of bacteria, leading to their death (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which helps preserve the effectiveness of Amoxycillin against bacterial infections. The medication is not effective against viral infections like colds and flu. It is crucial to complete the prescribed course of Moxclav BD DS 457mg Suspension even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

Possible side effects of Moxclav BD DS 457mg Suspension may include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergic reactions, which should subside over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, it is crucial to seek medical advice promptly. Before administering this medication to a child, it is important to disclose the child's complete medical history to the doctor, including any previous allergies or existing health conditions such as heart problems, blood disorders, liver or kidney issues, among others. Sharing this information will assist the doctor in making appropriate dosage adjustments and planning the child's overall treatment regimen.
