Princiclav DS Dry Syrup

Description

Princiclav DS Dry Syrup is a double-strength antibiotic formulation specially designed for children. It contains a combination of Amoxycillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria, and Clavulanic Acid, which prevents bacterial resistance and enhances the effectiveness of amoxycillin.

It is prescribed for treating a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including those of the ear, throat, lungs, urinary tract, and skin. Being a DS (double strength) formulation, it delivers a higher dose per spoonful, making it more convenient for children who require stronger treatment.
