Important cautions

Do not take Clavimore Granules if you have a history of serious allergic reaction to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., cephalosporins) or if you have had liver problems (cholestatic jaundice or hepatic dysfunction) with this combination before.

Diarrhea that persists may indicate a more serious bowel condition; consult your doctor.
