Description

Mega-CV Forte 457mg Dry Syrup is a pediatric-friendly oral antibiotic formulation designed to treat mild to moderate bacterial infections in children. It contains:

Amoxycillin (400mg/5ml): A broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing bacteria.
Clavulanic Acid (57mg/5ml): A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Amoxycillin from degradation by resistant bacteria, enhancing its antibacterial activity.

The dry syrup formulation is convenient for children who cannot swallow tablets, ensuring accurate dosing and ease of administration after reconstitution with water.

Uses / Indications

Respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia)
Ear, nose, and throat infections (otitis media, tonsillitis, pharyngitis)
Skin and soft tissue infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children
Dental infections
Suitable for pediatric patients requiring liquid formulation

How It Works

Amoxycillin disrupts bacterial cell wall formation, causing bacterial lysis and death.
Clavulanic Acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, preventing Amoxycillin breakdown.
The combination ensures broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage, including resistant strains.
