This image shows the packaging and components for MOXYCOT-CV DS, a pediatric dry syrup manufactured for Accott Healthcare.
Based on the labeling, here is a breakdown of the product and its intended use:
Brand Name: MOXYCOT-CV DS (Dry Syrup)
Active Ingredients: Amoxycillin & Potassium Clavulanate Oral Suspension IP
Target Audience: For Pediatric Use Only (as indicated by the cartoon imagery and the “Dry Syrup” formulation).
Strength/Volume: $5\text{g} / 30\text{ml}$
This is a combination antibiotic often prescribed to treat various bacterial infections in children.
Amoxycillin: A penicillin-type antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
Potassium Clavulanate: A “beta-lactamase inhibitor.” Some bacteria can produce enzymes (beta-lactamases) that destroy Amoxycillin; the Clavulanate blocks these enzymes, making the Amoxycillin more effective against resistant bacteria.
Because this is a Dry Syrup, it must be reconstituted (mixed with water) before use. The package includes:
The medicine bottle containing the dry powder.
A container of sterile water (the clear plastic ampoule on the left) for mixing.
Shake the bottle to loosen the powder.
Add the sterile water provided in the pack up to the mark indicated on the bottle.
Shake vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved.
Storage: Once mixed, the suspension usually needs to be stored in a refrigerator and used within a specific timeframe (often 7 days).
Prescription Only: This is an Rx drug. It should only be administered under the guidance of a pediatrician.
Complete the Course: Even if the child feels better, the full course must be finished to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Allergies: Should not be used if the child has a known allergy to penicillin or cephalosporins.
