Important Safety Information
Emmox is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). It should only be used under medical supervision. Ensure your child completes the full course of treatment even if they feel better, as stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance. If your child has a known allergy to penicillin, inform your doctor or GoMed pharmacist immediately.
