Introduction
Ondonat 2mg Syrup is a medication designed to alleviate nausea and vomiting in children. It is particularly effective in managing these symptoms when they are associated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or stomach/intestinal infections. Additionally, it helps mitigate vomiting caused by certain medications, such as painkillers. The syrup works by blocking the action of serotonin, a chemical released by dead cells during these procedures, which stimulates vomiting centers in the brain. By preventing this stimulation, Ondonat 2mg Syrup effectively controls nausea and vomiting. It is fast-acting, with effects typically beginning within 30 minutes. While generally safe, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider for any concerns.
Directions for Use
Administer the syrup to your child as prescribed by the healthcare provider. Ensure the child consumes plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and eats slowly in small proportions. Avoid giving fried, spicy food or heavy meals.
How it works
Ondonat 2mg Syrup works by blocking the action of serotonin, a chemical released by dead cells during radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infections, or major surgeries. This chemical stimulates vomiting centers in the brain, and by inhibiting its effect, the syrup prevents nausea and vomiting.
