Introduction
Periset Syrup is primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting in children. It is effective in managing nausea and vomiting caused by surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and stomach or intestinal infections. Additionally, it helps alleviate vomiting induced 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. By preventing this stimulation, Periset Syrup effectively controls nausea and vomiting. It is fast-acting, with effects starting 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 Periset Syrup to your child as prescribed by the healthcare provider. Ensure the correct dosage is given, and follow any additional instructions provided by the doctor.
How it works
Periset Syrup works by blocking the effects of serotonin, a chemical released by dead cells during radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infections, or major surgeries. This serotonin stimulates vomiting centers in the brain, and by blocking its effect, the syrup prevents vomiting.
Quick Tips
Periset Syrup 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is Periset Syrup used for?
Periset Syrup is typically prescribed to prevent vomiting before major surgeries, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy sessions. It may also be used to treat vomiting caused by stomach diseases. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your child's doctor for proper guidance.
What if my child takes too much Periset Syrup?
While an accidental overdose of Periset Syrup is unlikely to cause harm, it's essential to consult your child's doctor immediately if you suspect an overdose. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as excessive sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, and seizures, may occur. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
How should Periset Syrup be stored?
Store Periset Syrup at room temperature, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to avoid accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Periset Syrup?
It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Periset Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child, as Periset Syrup may interact with other substances.
In what conditions do I need to call my child's doctor right away?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, inability to pass wind, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Periset Syrup along with it?
Avoid combining Periset Syrup with medications used to treat depression or migraine, as this may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child to ensure safe and effective treatment.
