Key Information
Short Description
Edyset Drop is a medicine given to children to help treat nausea and vomiting. It is mainly given to treat nausea and vomiting associated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and stomach/intestinal infection.
Dosage Form
Oral Solution
Introduction
Edyset Drop may be given before or after meals. To control vomiting caused due to chemotherapy, give this medicine to your child 30 minutes before the procedure. Give it 1 to 2 hours before a radiotherapy session and 1 hour before surgery to prevent your child from vomiting post these procedures. If your child expels out the medicine within 30 minutes of the intake, help your child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double the dose if it is already time for the next dose. Edyset Drop may cause some temporary side effects such as headache, constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue. These side effects usually subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome, do reach out to the doctor on a priority basis. Let the doctor know about all the medicines your child is taking, including painkillers, antibiotics, or medicines taken to treat depression. Also, inform the doctor if your child has a history of liver problems, kidney malfunction, blockage in the gastrointestinal tract, heart problems, or allergies to any medicine, its ingredients, or a food product.

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. Later, this stimulates special centers in the body that are responsible for inducing vomiting in your child. Giving Edyset Drop just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.

Frequently asked questions
What is Edyset Drop used for?
Edyset Drop is generally given before major surgeries or before chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. It helps prevent vomiting post-procedure. In cases of stomach diseases, it can be prescribed for a few days to treat vomiting. Always follow the prescribed dose.
What if my child takes too much Edyset Drop?
While accidental overdose is unlikely to cause harm, consult your child's doctor immediately. Excessive intake can lead to serious side effects like excess sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerks, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These are collectively known as serotonin syndrome. Seek immediate medical help if these symptoms appear.
How should Edyset Drop be stored?
Store Edyset Drop at room temperature in a dry place away from direct heat and light. Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
What all medicines should my child avoid while taking Edyset Drop?
Usually, it's advised not to give Edyset Drop along with antidepressant medications, apomorphine, anti-migraine medications, painkillers, heart medications, and antibiotics like linezolid. However, consulting your child's doctor is essential for determining specific interactions before giving any medication.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome like irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, inability to pass wind, pale and/or dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Edyset Drop along with it?
Avoid combining Edyset Drop with medications for depression or migraines, as they can lead to serotonin syndrome. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine.
