CompositionZofer Syrup is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting in children, especially during recovery from surgery or as a side effect of medical treatments like chemotherapy. It provides relief from the urge to vomit, helping the child stay hydrated and comfortable during recovery. The pleasant-tasting liquid form is designed for easy administration in pediatric patients.
This medicine contains Ondansetron, an anti-emetic that works by blocking serotonin receptors in the gut and the brain's vomiting center. Serotonin is a chemical released during illness or medical treatment that triggers the vomiting reflex. By inhibiting these signals, it helps control nausea and vomiting.
Administer the exact dose prescribed by your pediatrician, usually 30 minutes before a medical procedure or at the first sign of nausea. It is important to wait for the child to settle before offering food or large amounts of water. Inform your doctor if the child has any history of heart rhythm issues or electrolyte imbalances before use.
