Introduction
Ondench 2mg Syrup is a medication designed to alleviate nausea and vomiting in children. It is particularly effective for those undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or dealing with stomach and intestinal infections. Additionally, it can help manage vomiting caused by certain medications like painkillers. The syrup works by blocking the effects of serotonin, a chemical released by dead cells during these procedures, which stimulates vomiting centers in the brain. While it is generally well-tolerated, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper usage and potential side effects.
Directions for Use
Administer the syrup to your child as prescribed by the healthcare provider, typically before the procedure causing nausea or vomiting. Ensure your child consumes plenty of fluids and avoids fried, spicy, or heavy meals.
How it works
Ondench 2mg Syrup works by blocking the effects of serotonin, a chemical released by dead cells during radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infections, or major surgeries. This prevents the stimulation of vomiting centers in the brain, thereby controlling nausea and vomiting.
