Clavam Dry Syrup

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Clavam Dry Syrup is a popular antibiotic medication used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It combines two active ingredients: Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. Amoxicillin belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics and works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid helps to enhance the effectiveness of Amoxicillin against bacteria that are normally resistant to penicillins.

Clavam Dry Syrup is available in a powdered form, which is reconstituted with water to form a suspension suitable for oral administration, particularly in pediatric patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. This formulation ensures precise dosing and ease of administration, making it a preferred choice in the treatment of infections in children.
