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 Ondarom Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
Quick Tips
Ondarom 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 Ondarom Syrup used for?
Ondarom Syrup is generally prescribed before major surgery or chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. It may be given to children to prevent vomiting following these procedures. Additionally, it is useful in treating vomiting caused by stomach diseases. A doctor may prescribe Ondarom Syrup for a few days in such cases. Adherence to the dosage instructions ensures optimal results.
What if my child takes too much Ondarom Syrup?
While Ondarom Syrup is unlikely to cause harm if an extra dose is accidentally taken, consulting a doctor immediately is essential. Serotonin syndrome can occur with excessive intake. This condition involves symptoms 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. Immediate consultation with a doctor if you observe these symptoms is crucial.
How should Ondarom Syrup be stored?
Ondarom Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It is also essential to keep medicines out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ondarom Syrup?
It's important to inform your child's doctor about all medications or substances your child is taking before starting Ondarom Syrup. Additionally, consult with a doctor before administering any medication to your child to avoid potential interactions.
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 vomit, difficulty passing gas, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Ondarom Syrup along with it?
Combining Ondarom Syrup with medicines designed to treat depression or migraines can lead to serotonin syndrome. Consulting your child's doctor before administering any medications is essential.
