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 Omit Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
Quick Tips
Omit 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. Practice self-care measures: Give plenty of fluids to your child to avoid dehydration, avoid giving fried and spicy food or heavy meals to your child, and ensure that your child eats slowly and in small proportions.

Frequently asked questions
What is Omit Syrup used for?
Omit Syrup is primarily prescribed for preventing vomiting prior to major surgical procedures or chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. It helps reduce the occurrence of nausea associated with these procedures in children. Additionally, it can be utilized to manage vomiting caused by digestive disorders in children, where the doctor may prescribe a course of Omit Syrup for several days.
What if my child accidentally takes too much Omit Syrup?
While accidental overdose is uncommon, exceeding recommended doses can lead to adverse effects. In such cases, it's crucial to consult your child's doctor immediately. Excessive consumption of Omit Syrup may trigger symptoms like excessive sleepiness, agitation, a rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, flushing, pupil dilation, sweating, involuntary muscle jerks, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. Collectively known as serotonin syndrome, these symptoms necessitate immediate medical attention.
How should Omit Syrup be stored?
Omit Syrup should be kept in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. It must also be stored securely out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Omit Syrup?
The administration of Omit Syrup should ideally be discussed with your child's doctor before starting or combining it with any other medications. This is essential to identify potential interactions between these substances, such as those targeting depression or migraine, which could potentially lead to serotonin syndrome.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
If your child develops symptoms of serotonin syndrome, including irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, difficulty passing wind, paleness and/or bluish discoloration of the skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, or insomnia. These are all potential signs to seek immediate medical attention.
My child is experiencing a migraine while on medication, can I give Omit Syrup along with it?
Combining Omit Syrup with medications for depression or migraine is not recommended as there might be a risk of serotonin syndrome. It's crucial to consult your child's doctor before administering any medicine.
