Description
Curam 312.5Mg Susp is a broad-spectrum antibiotic suspension specifically formulated for use in children. It contains a combination of two active ingredients: amoxicillin trihydrate and potassium clavulanate. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that fights bacteria by preventing them from building their cell walls. Potassium clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps to stop certain bacteria from inactivating amoxicillin, thereby increasing its effectiveness against a wider range of bacterial infections. Curam 312.5Mg Susp is commonly prescribed by pediatricians to treat various bacterial infections in infants and children, including infections of the ear (otitis media), nose and throat (such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis), chest (like pneumonia and bronchitis), skin and soft tissues, and the urinary tract. The strength of 312.5mg typically refers to the total amount of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in a specific volume of the reconstituted suspension, often 5ml. The liquid form makes it easier to administer the medication to young children. Dosage is carefully determined based on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection, as directed by a healthcare professional.

Directions for Use:
Curam 312.5Mg Susp is usually provided as a powder that needs to be mixed with water before giving it to your child. Carefully follow the instructions provided by the pharmacist or on the packaging for the correct way to reconstitute the suspension. Always shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the medication is evenly mixed. Use a calibrated measuring spoon or oral syringe to give the exact dose prescribed by your doctor. Dosage is determined by your child’s weight and the severity of their infection. It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if your child starts to feel better, to fully eradicate the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Curam can be given with or without food. Giving it with food might help to reduce any potential stomach upset.
Precautions:
- Curam is a prescription antibiotic and should only be used under the direction of a healthcare professional.
- Inform your doctor if your child has any allergies, especially to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics (such as cephalosporins).
- Provide your doctor with your child’s complete medical history, particularly if they have kidney problems, liver problems, or a history of allergic reactions.
- Tell your doctor about all other medications your child is currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements, as drug interactions can occur.
- Be aware of possible side effects, which may include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and skin rash. If these side effects persist or become bothersome, contact your doctor. Serious allergic reactions, though rare, can happen and require immediate medical attention (symptoms may include hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling).
- If your child’s symptoms do not improve within a few days of starting Curam, or if they get worse, contact your doctor.
- Do not use Curam to treat viral infections like colds or the flu, as it is only effective against bacterial infections.
- Store the unreconstituted powder in a dry place at room temperature. Once the suspension is prepared, it should usually be stored in the refrigerator and used within the timeframe specified on the label (typically 7-14 days). Discard any remaining suspension after this period.
- Keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
