Clamp Suspension 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. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. These bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Clamp Suspension effectively treats infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Clamp Suspension is a combination medicine containing Amoxycillin (penicillin- antibiotic) 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.

Clamp Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Clamp Suspension should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Clamp Suspension to the child. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

Clamp Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Clamp Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your child’s doctor about liver and kidney disease.

Clamp Suspension is a combination medicine containing Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. It is a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Clamp Suspension is used to treat several bacterial infections in children. Clamp Suspension 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.

• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Stomach upset
• Indigestion
• Vomiting

Avoid giving Clamp Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to it. Keep your paediatrician informed about your child’s health condition, including their previous medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. It is advised not to give more than the prescribed dose of medicine. Also, inform your doctor if your child has liver or kidney-related issues before administration.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Inform the doctor if the child is taking cephalosporins (cefaclor, cefadroxil, cefixime, cefpodoxime) or vaccines (typhoid, cholera vaccine).

Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor before administering Clamp Suspension if your child has any history of kidney or liver disease.

• CEFPODOXIME
• CEFIXIME
• CEFACLOR
• CEFADROXIL
• TYPHOID VACCINE
• CHOLERA VACCINE

• 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 Clamp Suspension's functionality.
• Encourage your kid to consume more liquids to prevent dehydration.

Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter, grow, and infect the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. When your child gets infected with these germs, they can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Children with a weak immune system are more prone to infections.
