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 Ondewar Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.

Frequently asked questions
What is Ondewar Syrup used for?
Ondewar Syrup is generally given before major surgeries or chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. The doctor may prescribe it to prevent vomiting post-procedure in children undergoing these procedures. Additionally, it can be helpful in treating vomiting associated with stomach diseases. In such cases, the child’s doctor may prescribe Ondewar Syrup for a few days.
What if my child takes too much Ondewar Syrup?
Accidental overdose of Ondewar Syrup is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, it is crucial to contact your child's doctor immediately if an extra dose is taken. Excessive intake of Ondewar Syrup can lead to serious side effects, such as excessive drowsiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerks, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These symptoms collectively indicate serotonin syndrome. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms appear.
How should Ondewar Syrup be stored?
Ondewar Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry location away from direct sunlight or heat. It is essential to keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ondewar Syrup?
It's important to discuss any other medications your child is taking with your doctor before starting Ondewar Syrup. Also, consult your doctor for guidance on administering any medicine to your child.
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, such as irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, difficulty passing gas, pale and/or dark skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Ondewar Syrup along with it?
Ondewar Syrup should not be combined with medications for depression or migraine as it can lead to serotonin syndrome. Consult your child’s doctor before administering any new medication.
