Ondem Syrup is used to manage nausea and vomiting in children. It is commonly used for the following health issues:

1. Nausea and vomiting caused by surgery: After your child's surgery, this medicine helps prevent and control the feeling of being sick and throwing up.

2. Nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy: This medicine can help reduce the nausea and vomiting that often occur as side effects of cancer treatment in children.

3. Nausea and vomiting caused by radiotherapy: When your child undergoes radiation therapy for cancer, this medicine can provide relief from the discomfort of nausea and vomiting.

4. Nausea and vomiting caused by stomach/intestinal illness: This medicine helps in managing the symptoms of stomach or intestinal infections that cause your child to feel nauseous or vomit.

5. Nausea and vomiting caused by certain medicines: If your child experiences nausea or vomiting due to pain relievers or other medicines, this syrup can help alleviate those symptoms.

To administer Ondem Syrup to your child, follow these steps:

• Give the syrup either before or after meals, as directed by the doctor.

• If your child needs chemotherapy, give the syrup before their treatment to prevent any possible vomiting.

• If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, reassure them and provide another dose.

• If it's time for the next scheduled dose, do not double the dose. Stick to the prescribed schedule.

• Consult a doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine effectively for your child's condition.

Ondem Syrup is taken orally, which means it is consumed by swallowing it. It is not to be taken externally or applied on the skin.

The active ingredient in Ondem Syrup is ondansetron.

• Ondansetron works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that can cause nausea and vomiting.

• It acts on specific receptors in the brain called serotonin receptors.

• By blocking these receptors, ondansetron helps to reduce the signals sent from the brain to the stomach that trigger nausea and vomiting.

• This helps to relieve symptoms and prevent further episodes of vomiting.

• Ondansetron does not sedate or make your child sleepy; it specifically targets the mechanisms that cause nausea and vomiting.

• The exact processes involved are complex, but ondansetron is effective in managing these symptoms in children.

• Store Ondem Syrup in a cool, dry place.

• Protect it from light and moisture by keeping it in its original packaging.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children to prevent accidental consumption.
