Pregnancy interaction:
When prescribed by a doctor, Novamox CV 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup is thought to be safe to use while pregnant.
Studies on people and animals have not found any negative effects of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid.
But it should only be used when absolutely necessary and only with close medical supervision.
Pregnant women should tell their doctor if they have ever had allergies or difficulties with their kidneys or liver.
There is no proof that the fetus is harmed, but gastrointestinal problems, such as mild diarrhea, can happen.
Expert advice:
Always shake the bottle well before using it to make sure the suspension is even.
For optimal results, give the dose at the same time every day.
Put the reconstituted syrup in the fridge and throw it away after seven days.
For proper dosing, use the measuring cup or spoon that came with it.
If your child is allergic to penicillin or has had an allergic reaction to beta-lactam antibiotics in the past, don't give them this drug.
Don't skip dosages. Using it in an irregular way makes it less effective and helps germs become resistant.
If your child experiences a rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, please discontinue the medication and contact a doctor immediately.

How it works:
There are two active components in Novamox CV 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup:
Amoxicillin:
Amoxicillin is a type of penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by preventing the formation of cell walls.
This makes the bacterial wall weaker and kills the bacteria.
Clavulanic Acid:
A beta-lactamase inhibitor that stops bacteria from breaking down amoxicillin.
This keeps amoxicillin working against germs that are resistant to it.
They work together to kill a large range of bacteria; therefore, the drug works against a wide range of diseases.

Medicine interaction:
Novamox CV may have an effect on:
Allopurinol: Raises the risk of getting a rash on your skin.
Warfarin: May make bleeding more likely; you may need to change the dose.
Methotrexate: Amoxicillin can make it more dangerous.
Probenecid increases the duration of amoxicillin's effectiveness by reducing its excretion rate.

Always tell your doctor about any medications, supplements, or herbal products you are using.
