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 Ordan Oral Drop just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
Quick Tips
Ordan Oral Drop 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.

When should I contact 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, inability to pass wind, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, or insomnia.
Can Ordan Oral Drop be given with medications for migraines?
Avoid taking Ordan Oral Drop with medicines meant to treat depression or migraine, as this can lead to serotonin syndrome. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to ensure safe and effective treatment.
