Joymentin Kid Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Skin rashes
Vomiting
Vaginitis: This is inflammation or infection in the vagina, which can cause discomfort or abnormal discharge.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Joymentin Kid Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Nausea: If you feel sick after taking this medicine, consider having it at the start of your meal.

Joymentin Kid Tablet 10 contains two active components:

Amoxicillin (200 mg): This is a semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotic. It binds to specific proteins in bacterial cells, disrupting their cell wall structure. This ultimately leads to the cell breaking down and the death of the microorganism.
Clavulanic Acid (28.5 mg): It is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It binds to enzymes called beta-lactamases produced by resistant bacteria and prevents them from breaking down amoxicillin. Thus, it protects amoxicillin from degradation and extends its spectrum of activity against many bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to effectively manage various types of bacterial infections.

If you are pregnant, caution is advised while taking Joymentin Kid Tablet 10. It's best to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
