Cuclav DS

CUCLAV-DS Dry Syrup is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combination containing Amoxycillin and Potassium Clavulanate, formulated for the effective treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections, particularly in pediatric patients. The addition of Clavulanate enhances the antibacterial activity of Amoxycillin by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes, thereby improving efficacy against resistant bacterial strains.

Indications and Clinical Use

CUCLAV-DS Dry Syrup is indicated for the treatment of:

• Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI)

• Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI)

• Otitis media

• Tonsillitis and pharyngitis

• Sinusitis

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Dental infections

• Other susceptible bacterial infections as advised by the physician

Mechanism of Action

• Amoxycillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.

• Potassium Clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents enzymatic degradation of Amoxycillin, thereby extending its antibacterial spectrum.

Together, they provide powerful and reliable antibacterial coverage, especially against beta-lactamase–producing organisms.
