How it works
During radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infection, or any major surgeries, the dead cells in the body start releasing a chemical called serotonin directly into the blood. This stimulates special centers in the body that are responsible for inducing vomiting in your child. Giving Denver Oral Solution just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.

It's crucial to get guidance from your child's doctor regarding any new medicines to be administered.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as an irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomit, difficulty passing gas, pale and/or dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Denver Oral Solution along with it?
Combining Denver Oral Solution with medications intended to treat depression or migraines can lead to serotonin syndrome. It's crucial to consult your child's doctor before administering any new medicine.
