CUCLAV Dry Syrup

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

Indications and Clinical Use

CUCLAV 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 infections caused by susceptible organisms

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 enhancing and extending its antibacterial spectrum.

This dual mechanism ensures potent and reliable antibacterial efficacy, especially against beta-lactamase–producing pathogens.

• Reconstitute the dry powder with boiled and cooled water up to the indicated mark.
