Amovix-CV Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It contains Amoxycillin 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. It may cause side effects like indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain.

About Amovix-CV Dry Syrup

Amovix-CV 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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Increase your child's intake of foods high in fibre. Your gut bacteria can readily break down fibre, which promotes growth.
  • Foods high in fibre may aid in the restoration of good gut flora following an antibiotic course.
  • Avoid foods high in iron or excessive calcium, as these may interfere with Amovix-CV Dry Syrup's functionality.
  • Encourage your kid to consume more liquids to prevent dehydration.
