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 Ondeset Oral Solution just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
