Clacido Suspension (125 mg + 31.25 mg)/5 ml is a combination antibiotic containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This formulation is specially designed for pediatric use, offering effective treatment against a wide range of bacterial infections. The suspension form makes it easy to administer to children, ensuring accurate dosing and better compliance.

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that fights bacteria, while Clavulanic Acid acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protecting Amoxicillin from bacterial resistance. Together, they provide a powerful combination that works against both sensitive and resistant bacteria.

Indications

Clacido Suspension is commonly prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections in children, including:

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

It is effective against infections caused by bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, which would otherwise make standard antibiotics ineffective.

How It Works

Amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of bacteria. However, some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can inactivate Amoxicillin.

Clavulanic Acid prevents this by blocking the beta-lactamase enzymes, allowing Amoxicillin to remain active and effective. This combination enhances the antibiotic’s spectrum and effectiveness.

Dosage and Administration
