Uses

It is used in the treatment of bacterial infections such as Upper and lower respiratory tract infections, otitis media, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections and community accquired pneumonia. It is highly effective in eradicating resistant bacteria.

Side Effects

Nausea, Headache, Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea and mild rash.

How to Use

Take the medicine in the dosage as prescribed by the physician.

How it Works

Xinoclav ODT is a combination medicine used in the treatment of resistant bacterial infections. It consists of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.
Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, protecting amoxicillin from degradation.

Together, they treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including those resistant to amoxycillin alone.

FAQs

Why is Clavulanic Acid included in such a small amount compared to Amoxycillin?

Clavulanic acid doesn’t treat infections directly. Its role is to block bacterial resistance enzymes (beta-lactamases) that would inactivate amoxycillin. A small amount is sufficient to do this job. More clavulanic acid doesn't improve effectiveness and may increase side effects, especially gastrointestinal and liver-related ones.

Can I take this medicine for viral infections like colds or flu?

No. Xinoclav ODT is an antibiotic, and it only works against bacterial infections, not viruses.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Xinoclav ODT?

It’s best to avoid alcohol. While there's no direct interaction, alcohol may increase the risk of side effects like stomach upset or dizziness.
