Medical Description

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 medicines, including painkillers and antimicrobial agents. Also, tell the doctor if your child has a history of liver problems, kidney failure, gastrointestinal tract blockage, heart problems, or allergies to any medicine, its ingredients, or a food product.

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

Directions for Use

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.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

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

Interactions with other medicines

  • Be cautious if you are giving medicine like amiodarone for uneven heartbeats or arrhythmias.
  • If you give your child medicines like doxorubicin, trastuzumab, antihypertensive medicines such as atenolol or timolol, antimalarial medicines such as halofantrine, antibiotic medicines like erythromycin, and antifungal medicines like ketoconazole, your child may experience irregular heart rhythm.
  • Your child may experience low blood pressure and unconsciousness if you give Ondem syrup along with apomorphine.
  • Medicines that relieve pain, like tramadol, may not work when taken with Ondem syrup.
  • Your child may experience serotonin syndrome (symptoms like high body temperature, irritation, shakiness, sweating, widened pupils, and diarrhoea), including abnormal mental states, with medicines used to treat mental states like citalopram or sertraline.
  • Some medicines may affect how Ondem works, or Ondem itself may reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken simultaneously.
  • Tell the doctor about the medicines, supplements, or herbals you are giving to your child to avoid possible interaction.

Interactions with food items

Ondem Syrup may be taken with or without food. No known interactions between Ondem Syrup and food or beverages.
