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 Zonda 2mg/5ml Drop just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
