Delpoclav Oral Drop Strawberry & Mixed Fruit

Introduction

Delpoclav Oral Strawberry & is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. It is commonly known as an antibiotic combination.

Uses

Delpoclav Oral Strawberry & is primarily used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in both children and adults. These infections may include respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and ear infections.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Delpoclav Oral Strawberry & will vary depending on the age, weight, and severity of the infection. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dosage for adults and children is as follows:

• Adults: 1 to 2 drops, three times a day, or as prescribed by the doctor.
• Children: The dosage will be determined by the child’s weight. It is usually calculated as 20-40 mg/kg/day divided into three separate doses.

Delpoclav Oral Strawberry & should be taken with or without food. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the required number of drops using the provided dropper. Administer the drops directly into the mouth or mix them with a small amount of water or juice.

Mechanism of Action

Delpoclav Oral Strawberry & works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid helps to fight against bacteria that may be resistant to Amoxicillin alone. Amoxicillin works by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, while Clavulanic Acid prevents certain enzymes from destroying Amoxicillin. This dual action enhances the effectiveness of the medication.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if they persist or become bothersome, consult your healthcare professional.

In rare cases, Delpoclav Oral Strawberry & may cause more serious side effects, such as severe allergic reactions, liver problems, or blood disorders. If you experience any unusual symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual bleeding or bruising, seek medical attention immediately.
