2. What you need to know before starting to take Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris

Do not administer Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris to your child:

• If they are allergic to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, penicillin, or any of the other components of this medication (see section 6).
• If they have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any other antibiotic. This could include a skin rash or rapid swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat.
• If they have ever had liver problems or jaundice (yellowing of the skin) when taking this antibiotic.

→ Do not give amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to your child if any of the above points apply to them.If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment.

Warnings and precautions

Inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to administer this medication to your child if:

• They have infectious mononucleosis.
• They are receiving treatment for liver or kidney problems.
• They do not urinate regularly.

If you are unsure whether any of the above symptoms affect your child, inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.

In some cases, your doctor may investigate the type of bacteria that causes your child's infection. Depending on the results, your child may receive a different formulation of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or another medication.

Symptoms to be aware of

Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris may worsen certain existing conditions or cause serious adverse effects. These include allergic reactions, seizures, and inflammation of the large intestine. You should be aware of certain symptoms while your child is taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to reduce the risk of problems. See section 4.

Blood and urine tests

If your child is undergoing blood tests (such as red blood cell status or liver function tests) or urine tests (to check glucose levels), inform your doctor or nurse that they are taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. This is because amoxicillin/clavulanic acid may alter the results of these types of tests.

Other medications and Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if your child is taking, has recently taken, or may need to take other medications, including those purchased without a prescription and herbal medicines.

If your child is taking allopurinol (used for gout) with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, they may be more likely to have a skin allergic reaction.

If your child is taking probenecid (used for gout), your doctor may adjust the dose of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Concomitant use of probenecid may reduce the excretion of amoxicillin and is not recommended.

If your child is taking anticoagulants (such as warfarin) with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, more blood tests will be needed.

Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris may affect the mechanism of action of methotrexate (a medication used to treat cancer, severe psoriasis, or rheumatic diseases). Penicillins may reduce the excretion of methotrexate and cause a potential increase in adverse effects.

Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris may affect the functioning of mycophenolate mofetil (a medication used to prevent organ rejection after transplantation).

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If your daughter is going to take this medication and is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks she may be pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, consult her doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and using machines

Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris may cause adverse effects such as allergic reactions, dizziness, and seizures. If this happens to your child, they should not drive or ride a bicycle and should not use tools or machines.

Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Viatris contains aspartame (E-951), glucose (dextrose), corn maltodextrin, sorbitol (E-420), benzyl alcohol, sulfur dioxide (E-220), benzyl benzoate, and sodium

For every 5 ml dose, this medication contains 8.5 mg of aspartame, 1.8 mg of lemon flavor (which contains glucose (dextrose), sorbitol, benzyl alcohol, and sulfur dioxide), 4.3 mg of peach-apricot flavor (which contains sorbitol, benzyl benzoate, sulfur dioxide, and benzyl alcohol), and 20 mg of orange flavor (which contains corn maltodextrin).

Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine. This may be harmful if your child has phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body cannot eliminate it properly.

If your doctor has told you that your child has an intolerance to certain sugars (such as glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin), consult with them before taking this medication.

Benzyl alcohol may cause allergic reactions. Benzyl alcohol has been associated with the risk of serious side effects, including respiratory problems (called "gasping syndrome") in young children. Do not give it to your newborn baby (up to 4 weeks old) unless your doctor recommends it. Do not use it for more than one week in young children (under 3 years old) unless your doctor or pharmacist recommends it. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have liver or kidney disease. This is because large amounts of benzyl alcohol can accumulate in the body and cause side effects (called "metabolic acidosis").

In rare cases, sulfur dioxide may cause severe hypersensitivity reactions and bronchospasm.

Benzyl benzoate may increase jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) in newborns (up to 4 weeks old).

This medication contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet, which means it is essentially "sodium-free".

Your child needs to complete the full treatment to help combat the infection. If bacteria survive, the infection will return.

If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

4. Possible adverse effects

Like all medications, this medication can cause adverse effects, although not everyone will experience them. The effects described below may occur with this medication.

Contact a doctor immediately if your child experiences any of these symptoms. Stop giving amoxicillin/clavulanic acid:

Allergic reactions:

• Skin rash.
• Inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis), which can appear as red or purple spots on the skin but can affect other parts of the body.
• Fever, joint pain, swollen glands in the neck, armpits, or groin.
• Rapid swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat, which can cause difficulty swallowing or breathing (angioedema).
• Collapse.
• Chest pain in the context of allergic reactions, which can be a symptom of allergy-induced heart attack (Kounis syndrome).

Severe skin reactions

• Widespread rash with blisters and peeling of the skin, particularly around the mouth, nose, eyes, and genitals (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), and in its most severe form, causing widespread peeling of the skin (more than 30% of the body surface - toxic epidermal necrolysis).
• Widespread rash with small blisters and pus (bullous exfoliative dermatitis).
• Red rash with bumps under the skin and blisters (pustular exanthematous eruption).
• Flu-like symptoms with skin rash, fever, gland inflammation, and abnormal blood test results (including an increase in white blood cells (eosinophilia) and elevated liver enzymes (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS))).

Other possible serious adverse effects

• Inflammation of the large intestine, which causes watery diarrhea, usually with blood and mucus, stomach pain, and/or fever.

-Acute pancreatitis:

If your child has severe and persistent stomach pain, this could be a sign of acute pancreatitis.

-Drug-induced enterocolitis syndrome (DIES):

• DIES has been reported mainly in children who receive amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. It is a certain type of allergic reaction with the main symptom of repeated vomiting (1-4 hours after taking the medication). Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, lethargy, diarrhea, and low blood pressure.
• Inflammation of the liver (hepatitis).
• Jaundice, caused by an increase in bilirubin in the blood (a substance produced by the liver), which can cause the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow.
• Seizures (in patients taking high doses of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or with kidney problems).
• Severe headache, stiff neck, with abnormal sensitivity to light, feeling and being sick, which can be caused by inflammation of the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord (aseptic meningitis).
• Feeling tired and short of breath with pale skin, which can be caused by a low number of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia).
• Inflammation of the kidney ducts.
• Increased risk of infections, such as sore throat, mouth ulcers, fever, which can be caused by a severe reduction in the number of white blood cells in the blood.

Contact your doctor as soon as possiblefor advice if your child has these symptoms.
