Reviewed By Dr Aneela Siddabathuni , MPharma., PhD

Moxclav Suspension is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It contains Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. It may cause side effects like indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain.

About Moxclav Suspension

Moxclav Suspension is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used to treat infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. These bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Moxclav Suspension effectively treats infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Moxclav Suspension is a combination medicine containing Amoxycillin (penicillin- antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin.

Moxclav Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Moxclav Suspension should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Moxclav Suspension to the child. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

Moxclav Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Moxclav Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your child’s doctor about liver and kidney disease.

  • Increase your child's intake of foods high in fibre. Your gut bacteria can readily break down fibre, which promotes growth.
  • Foods high in fibre may aid in the restoration of good gut flora following an antibiotic course.
  • Avoid foods high in iron or excessive calcium, as these may interfere with Moxclav Suspension's functionality.
