How it works

Amlokos 400mg/57mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas, clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

Shake well before use. Measure the dose with a marked spoon/cup. Give at the same time each day as prescribed. Follow the reconstitution instructions on the label (add boiled and cooled water up to the mark) if supplied as dry syrup. Complete the full course if prescribed for infection.
