Clacido BID Suspension (400 mg + 57.5 mg)/5 ml is a high-strength combination antibiotic formulated with Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This preparation is designed for twice-daily (BID) dosing, offering convenient and effective treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections, especially in children.

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic that kills bacteria, while Clavulanic Acid enhances its effectiveness by inhibiting bacterial enzymes that cause resistance. Together, they provide extended coverage against both common and resistant bacteria.

Indications

Clacido BID Suspension is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of infections, including:

• Respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)
• Ear infections (otitis media)
• Sinus infections (sinusitis)
• Throat infections (tonsillitis, pharyngitis)
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Dental infections

This higher-strength formulation is particularly useful in infections requiring stronger or sustained antibiotic therapy.

How It Works

Amoxicillin works by destroying the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of bacteria. However, some bacteria produce beta-lactamase enzymes that can neutralize Amoxicillin.

Clavulanic Acid acts by inhibiting these enzymes, ensuring that Amoxicillin remains active. This dual-action mechanism significantly improves the antibiotic’s effectiveness against resistant strains.

Dosage and Administration

• Dosage is based on the child’s body weight and severity of infection
• Shake the suspension well before each use

• Can be taken with meals to reduce stomach upset

Always complete the full prescribed course to prevent recurrence or resistance.
