During radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infection, or major surgeries, dead cells release serotonin into the blood, which stimulates vomiting centers in the brain. Ondapel Oral Solution blocks the effect of serotonin on these centers, preventing vomiting.

Ondapel Oral Solution effectively controls nausea and vomiting in children undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. It is fast-acting and starts working within 30 minutes. Give plenty of fluids to your child to avoid dehydration. Avoid giving fried and spicy food or heavy meals to your child. Ensure that your child eats slowly and in small proportions.
