About Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution
Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution belongs to a group of antibiotics known as penicillin antibiotics. It is generally prescribed to prevent middle ear and sinus infections, throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft tissue infections, dental infections, and joint and bone infections.
Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.
The dose of Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). The common side effects of Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.
Before starting Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution on your own as self-medication since it may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Rticlav 400mg/28.5mg Oral Solution is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. You can experience generalised symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue when you get infected with bacteria. A few harmful bacteria commonly cause infections are Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Anyone can get a bacterial infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
