Are these antibiotics off? 12 week old baby

[Cherubs4]

My baby boy has a bladder infection - it's quite unusual due to his age and his sex: he is 12 weeks today.

They've given him oral antibiotics to take for 10 days. Due to his age he gets a special formulation without benzyl alcohol and sorbitol and a number of other additives.

However the liquid in the bottle is really grainy. When I give it to him, I can see lots of white dots in his mouth from the bits floating in it. They are tiny but if you rub them between your fingers they are grainy. Should it be like this? They are in date (until June 2025). I have shaken it vigorously to check if they would desolve but they don't.

Does anyone know if this is okay? I'm really concerned given his age and can't find anything via a search engine search.

Dissolve*

Clarithromycin is white and bitty, like, very normal :)

What’s the antibiotic?

as PP says some of them are really grainy because the liquid is made from powder mixed with water

Is it a suspension? Which is literally bits floating in liquid. Or a solution? The medicine dissolved in the liquid.

Thank you for your replies, it seems like it's as it's meant to be afterall. It's called Clavamox 125/31 and, unfortunately, the box and information sheet are in Brazillian Portuguese so I'm not sure on much else about it - also when I searched for it online, it seems to be commonly prescribed by vets. It's oral suspension, I think

I would think it highly likely that clavamox 125/31 is the same as co-amoxicilin (amoxicilin with clavuronic acid). That is commonly a suspension rather than a solution, so could be grainy. Though I'm a bit surprised at it as a choice for UTI: we've stopped using it for UTI as so many organisms are resistant. Though I guess they could be seeing different patterns of resistance.

Yes, it's amoxicillin.
I think it's quite common to treat UTI with amoxicillin.

I haven't used amoxicillin to treat a UTI in a child or baby for at least 5 years, because so many of the bugs are resistant.

At my trust it's seems that doctors haven't got that issue. Don't know.

They did start us on amoxicillin while they waited to see what bacteria grew, and they called on Tuesday to say that the bacteria they found was sensitive to the amoxicillin so to continue using that. Should I ask to have something else?

Can you call the pharmacist and ask?

If this particular bug is sensitive, that's fine.

No. It's fine.
