Ediset 2mg Syrup is a medicine given to children to help treat nausea and vomiting. It is mainly given to treat nausea and vomiting associated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and stomach/intestinal infection. Ediset 2mg Syrup may be given before or after meals. To control vomiting caused due to chemotherapy, give this medicine to your child 30 minutes before the procedure. Give it 1 to 2 hours before a radiotherapy session and 1 hour before surgery to prevent your child from vomiting post these procedures. If your child expels out the medicine within 30 minutes of the intake, help your child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double the dose if it is already time for the next dose. Ediset 2mg Syrup may cause some temporary side effects such as headache, constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue. These side effects usually subside once your child's body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome, do reach out to the doctor on a priority basis.
During radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infection, or any major surgeries, the dead cells in the body start releasing a chemical called serotonin directly into the blood. Later, this stimulates special centers in the body that are responsible for inducing vomiting in your child. Giving Ediset 2mg Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
What is Ediset 2mg Syrup used for?
Ediset 2mg Syrup is generally administered before major surgeries or chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. It may be prescribed for preventing nausea following procedures in children.

What if my child accidentally takes too much Ediset 2mg Syrup?
While accidental overdosing is unlikely to be harmful, it is crucial to consult your child's doctor immediately. If you suspect an overdose, seek professional medical assistance promptly. Excessive Ediset 2mg Syrup intake may lead to serious side effects such as excessive drowsiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerks, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These symptoms are collectively known as serotonin syndrome. Do not delay in seeking medical attention.
How should Ediset 2mg Syrup be stored?

However, before initiating any changes in your child's medication regimen, always consult with their doctor.
In what situations should I immediately contact my child's doctor?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they develop symptoms of serotonin syndrome such as irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, inability to pass gas, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia. These are all key signs that require immediate attention.
Can I give Ediset 2mg Syrup along with my child's migraine medication?
It is not advisable to combine Ediset 2mg Syrup with migraine medications as it can potentially lead to serotonin syndrome. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
