Ondem 2mg Syrup 30ml is an anti-nausea (antiemetic) medication containing Ondansetron (2mg/5ml). It is widely prescribed to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. It works by blocking serotonin, a natural substance in the body that triggers nausea and vomiting.
This syrup is particularly useful for children who experience vomiting due to infections, food poisoning, or motion sickness. It provides quick relief and helps patients feel comfortable during treatment. Doctors also prescribe it for post-surgical nausea and conditions like gastroenteritis.
Safe for use in kidney patients, but dosage adjustments may be required in severe cases.
Use with caution in liver disease. Dose adjustment may be necessary for patients with severe liver impairment.
Ondem 2mg Syrup contains Ondansetron, which belongs to the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist class of drugs. It blocks serotonin, a neurotransmitter that triggers vomiting and nausea. When the brain detects toxins, infections, or chemotherapy drugs, it releases serotonin, which binds to receptors in the gut and triggers vomiting. Ondansetron blocks these receptors, preventing nausea and vomiting signals from reaching the brain. This action makes Ondem highly effective for chemotherapy-induced nausea, post-surgical vomiting, and gastroenteritis-related nausea in children.
Nausea and vomiting occur when signals from the gut and the brain’s vomiting center are triggered by various factors. Gastroenteritis, caused by viral or bacterial infections, leads to vomiting and diarrhea. Chemotherapy or radiation affects the stomach lining and brain centers, inducing nausea. Motion sickness results from conflicting signals between the eyes and inner ears. Food poisoning, caused by contaminated food, also leads to vomiting as the body tries to expel harmful substances.
Ondem 2mg Syrup (Ondansetron 2mg/5ml) is a fast-acting anti-nausea medication commonly prescribed for vomiting due to chemotherapy, surgery, or infections. It works by blocking serotonin receptors, preventing the vomiting reflex. Safe for children, it provides quick relief from nausea and improves comfort during treatments.
