About Ondem 2

Ondem syrup is used to manage nausea and vomiting in children. It contains ondansetron as an active ingredient. Ondem syrup works by inhibiting the action of a chemical substance known as serotonin, which is responsible for inducing nausea and vomiting.

This syrup should be given to your children as directed by a doctor under an adult's supervision. Shake the Ondem syrup well before each use.

Common side effects of Ondem Syrup may include headache, constipation, diarrhoea, and fatigue. These side effects usually disappear once your child's body adjusts to the medication. If these side effects persist or become difficult notify your doctor right away.

Inform your doctor about all of your child's medications, including painkillers and antimicrobial agents. Also, inform the doctor if your child has a history of liver problems, kidney failure, gastrointestinal tract blockage, heart issues, or allergies to any medicine, its ingredients, or food products.

A few other preparations that also contain ondansetron are Emigo suspension, Vomena Paed, Emeset syrup, and Zofer syrup.

Uses

Ondem Syrup is an anti-emetic medicine used in children to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by conditions such as cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.

If your child has a known long QT interval, or there is an inherited heart rhythm condition in the family.
If your child’s potassium or magnesium level is low and has not been corrected - likely after heavy or prolonged vomiting.
If your child has a blocked bowel, or a swollen tummy that is silent.
In a baby below the age your doctor specifies. Do not decide this yourself.

Precautions and Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if

Your child is allergic to similar medicines like granisetron or palonosetron.
Your child has severe constipation or has a blockage in the stomach as the medicine can affect the food transit time through the digestive tract.
Your child has heart problems like heart failure or irregular heartbeats.
Your child has liver problems or a condition of salt imbalance in blood or dehydration or your child is experiencing fluid loss.

Doctor’s suggestion

Dr. Vishesh Bharucha MBBS, MD Medicine ★★★★★

Ondem Syrup should be used with caution in children with heart rhythm disorders or electrolyte imbalances, as it may rarely affect the heart's electrical activity and increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms

Directions for use

Do not consume Ondem directly from the bottle.
Use a proper measuring cup or spoon for the exact quantity.
Shake well before use and read the instructions on the bottle before use.

Storage and disposal

Store Ondem syrup at room temperature, away from light and moisture.
Keep the medicine away from children and pets.
Do not flush unused or expired medicines in the toilet or pour them into the drain.

Quick tips

Treat the fluid loss, not just the vomiting. Small, frequent sips of rehydration solution matter more than how many times you prevent vomiting.
Learn the signs of dehydration in a child: fewer wet nappies or less urine, no tears when crying, a dry mouth, sunken eyes, unusual drowsiness, or floppiness. If you see any of those, see a doctor, not another dose.
Use the measure or syringe that comes with the bottle. A kitchen spoon is not accurate enough for a child.
Constipation is the commonest nuisance. Keep fluids up and tell your doctor if it becomes a problem.
See a doctor rather than giving more if the vomit is green, contains blood or looks like coffee grounds, or if there is severe tummy pain, a stiff neck, a rash, drowsiness, or a recent head injury.
Vomiting in a baby under three months needs assessing, not treating at home.
Tell your doctor about any heart rhythm problem in the family, and about every other medicine your child takes, as several affect the same heart rhythm.
Do not give it to a sibling or keep leftovers for next time. It is prescribed for one child and one episode.

Dosage

Overdose

Overdosing on Ondem Syrup can cause side effects like headache, constipation, and irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you accidentally give too much to your child. Contact your child's doctor or go to a nearby hospital.

Missed a dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, then take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How Ondem 2 works

Ondem syrup works by inhibiting the action of a chemical substance known as serotonin, which is responsible for inducing nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron binds to a receptor known as 5-HT₃, thus inhibits the binding of serotonin to it and prevents vomiting and nausea.

Interactions

Carbamazepine decreases the overall strength and performance of Ondem Syrup by accelerating its processing and removal from your system.

Food interactions

You can give it with or without food.
Keep offering small, frequent sips of oral rehydration solution between doses. Ondem syrup makes drinking possible; replacing the fluid and salts your child has lost is what actually treats the illness.
Keep breastfeeding or formula feeding as normal, but in smaller amounts more often if vomiting continues.
Reintroduce food gradually once the vomiting settles, small portions of what your child normally eats rather than a bland diet or a large meal.
Avoid fruit juice, fizzy drinks and sweetened squash while your child is vomiting. The sugar load can worsen diarrhoea, and they do not replace salts.
Avoid grapefruit juice in large amounts, as it can raise the medicine level.

Frequently asked questions

Can Ondem syrup affect my child's heart?

Rarely, yes, and it is worth knowing. The ondansetron in Ondem syrup can lengthen the heart's QT interval, which in uncommon cases disturbs the rhythm. The risk is higher if your child has a heart condition or a family history of rhythm problems, if potassium or magnesium is low after a lot of vomiting, or if they take another medicine with the same effect. Tell your doctor, and seek help if your child complains of a racing or fluttering heartbeat, or faints.

How do I know if my child is getting dehydrated despite Ondem syrup?

Watch the output and the alertness rather than counting the vomits. Fewer wet nappies or less urine than usual, no tears when crying, a dry mouth, sunken eyes, or unusual drowsiness and floppiness all mean dehydration is setting in. That needs medical assessment the same day, not another dose.

Does Ondem syrup treat what is causing the vomiting?

No. Ondem syrup blocks the signal that triggers the vomiting reflex, which relieves the symptom and lets your child keep fluids down. The cause - a stomach bug, migraine, or something surgical - still needs managing, which is why it is prescribed for a defined episode rather than kept on hand.

Why has my child become constipated on Ondem syrup?

Ondem syrup slows the gut as well as damping the vomiting signal, and constipation is the commonest complaint with it. Keep fluids going, and tell your doctor if it persists or your child's tummy becomes swollen and uncomfortable.

Can I keep Ondem syrup at home and give it whenever my child is sick?

No. Ondem syrup is a prescription medicine for specific causes of vomiting, and using it as a general household remedy risks masking something that needs diagnosing - appendicitis and a head injury both cause vomiting in children. Do not give it to a sibling, and do not keep leftovers for next time.

Is Ondem syrup safe alongside my child's other medicines?

Tell your doctor everything your child takes, including anything bought without a prescription. The combination that must be avoided with Ondem syrup is apomorphine. Care is also needed with medicines affecting heart rhythm, with antidepressants and tramadol because of serotonin effects, and with some epilepsy and tuberculosis medicines that reduce its effect.

How long can my child stay on Ondem syrup?

For the short course your doctor sets, matched to the cause. Ondem syrup is not intended for long-term or repeated use on your own, and vomiting that keeps coming back without explanation needs investigating rather than suppressing.

Is Ondem syrup sedative?

No, Ondem syrup is not known to cause any sedative effect.

Can Ondem syrup be given during pregnancy?

Ondansetron should not be used during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Is Ondem syrup useful for motion sickness?

No, it should not be used for motion sickness.

Is Ondem syrup habit-forming or addictive?

No, it is not a habit-forming medicine. There are no such incidences reported so far following the use of Ondem syrup.

Is Ondem syrup safe for babies?

Yes, it is safe if used as directed by your doctor for the specified duration. Before initiating the treatment you should inform your doctor about all the medicines your child is currently taking or any disease they suffer from

What is the Ondem syrup dose for a child?

The dose will be decided by the doctor on the basis of the child's age and body weight. Do not self medicate.

How long does the Ondem syrup take to work?

Ondem syrup starts showing its effect within 1-1.5 hours, after its consumption. However, if you do not feel any improvement even after taking this medicine, immediately inform the doctor.

Is Ondem good for vomiting?

Yes, Ondem syrup is an anti-emetic medicine. It is used to treat and prevent nausea and vomiting. Do not self medicine. Give this medicine to your child, if prescribed by your child's doctor.

Can Ondem syrup be used for loose motion?

No, Ondem syrup is an oral medicine used to prevent nausea and vomiting before and after surgery and anti-cancer treatment. It may cause diarrhoea as a side effect.

What should I discuss with my healthcare expert before giving Ondem syrup to my child?

Prior to administering Ondem Syrup, you should inform the doctor of any history of severe constipation, heart problems, liver or kidney issues, electrolyte imbalances, or scheduled surgeries for the child.

Ondem syrup vs Emeset syrup, are they the same?

The active ingredient in both syrups is the same, ondansetron. However, these are two different brands; you should only use the syrup prescribed by your doctor, as the same will be based on your medical history and the severity of your condition.
