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 Lesetron Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.

Lesetron Syrup effectively controls nausea and bouts of vomiting reflex in children undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions. It is fast-acting and starts working within 30 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
What is Lesetron Syrup used for?
Lesetron Syrup is typically prescribed by a doctor to prevent vomiting before major surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy sessions. It may also be given to treat stomach-related illnesses that cause vomiting.
What if my child takes too much Lesetron Syrup?
While an accidental overdose of Lesetron Syrup is unlikely to cause harm, it's essential to consult the doctor immediately. Excessive intake may lead to serotonin syndrome, which can manifest as excessive sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, and other symptoms.
How should Lesetron Syrup be stored?
Lesetron Syrup should be kept at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. It's crucial to store all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Lesetron Syrup?
It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Lesetron Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medication to avoid potential interactions.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
If your child experiences symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, or insomnia, contact the doctor immediately.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Lesetron Syrup along with it?
To avoid serotonin syndrome, it's recommended to not combine Lesetron Syrup with medications used to treat depression or migraines without consulting your child's doctor first.
