Frequently asked questions
Can I give Edmox Syrup to my child repeatedly for a long time?

It is crucial to adhere strictly to the prescribed dose and duration. Do not alter the treatment on your own. Additionally, irregular use or misuse may lead to bacterial resistance.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Edmox Syrup?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Edmox Syrup?
