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.
