Product Description
Klavox DS 457mg Suspension 70mL is a high-strength, oral co-amoxiclav (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) suspension formulated for pediatric and adult use. Each 5mL dose delivers 400mg amoxicillin + 57mg clavulanic acid, providing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many Gram-positive, Gram-negative and beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes, making Klavox DS effective against resistant strains. It is commonly prescribed for: Respiratory tract infections (e.g., otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis) Skin and soft tissue infections Urinary tract infections Dental infections/abscesses Other susceptible infections (e.g., bone/joint infections in some cases) The ready-to-use suspension has a pleasant flavour (usually fruit or mixed berry) to improve compliance in children. The 70mL bottle provides approximately 14 doses (at 5mL twice daily), making it convenient for standard 7-day courses. Shake well before each dose and store in refrigerator after reconstitution if required (check label).
