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. This stimulates special centers in the body that are responsible for inducing vomiting in your child. Giving Vomikind 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 Vomikind Syrup used for?

What if my child takes too much Vomikind Syrup?
While accidental overdose is unlikely, it is always best to contact your child's doctor immediately in case of excessive dosage. Some potential side effects of an over-dose include: excess sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerk, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These symptoms indicate serotonin syndrome. Seek immediate medical attention if you observe any of these symptoms.
How should Vomikind Syrup be stored?
Vomikind Syrup should be kept at room temperature in a dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep it out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Vomikind Syrup?
It's essential to consult your child’s doctor before giving any medicine, especially in combination with Vomikind Syrup. Vomikind Syrup may interact with other medications and substances. Always inform your doctor of all other medications your child is currently taking.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
You should contact 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, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Vomikind Syrup along with it?
It's important to note that combining Vomikind Syrup with medications for depression or migraines can lead to serotonin syndrome, so consult your doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
