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 Weltron Oral Solution 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 Weltron Oral Solution used for?
Weltron Oral Solution is primarily prescribed before major surgery or chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. It helps prevent vomiting in children undergoing these procedures. Additionally, it can be used to treat vomiting caused by stomach diseases. The doctor may prescribe it for a few days depending on the condition.
What if my child takes too much Weltron Oral Solution?
While accidental overdose is unlikely, contacting your child's doctor immediately is crucial if an extra dose is given. Excess intake can potentially cause serious side effects like excessive sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerks, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These symptoms collectively manifest as serotonin syndrome.
How should Weltron Oral Solution be stored?
Weltron Oral Solution should be kept at room temperature in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. It is essential to keep the medication out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Weltron Oral Solution?
Combining Weltron Oral Solution with other medications or substances may lead to unwanted interactions. It's vital to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking before starting this medication. Consulting with a healthcare professional is crucial before administering any additional medicine to your child.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome, including irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, difficulty passing gas (flatulence), pale or dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia. Prompt medical attention is crucial in such situations.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Weltron Oral Solution along with it?
Avoid combining Weltron Oral Solution with any medications for depression or migraine because these drugs can trigger serotonin syndrome. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
