Emerest Syrup is a medicine given to children to help treat nausea and vomiting. Emerest 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.
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 Emerest Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting..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.

What is Emerest Syrup used for?
Emerest Syrup is generally given before major surgeries, such as before chemotherapy or radiotherapy. It can also be prescribed for children undergoing these procedures to prevent vomiting after the treatment. This syrup is sometimes prescribed for children with stomach-related illnesses as well, to help alleviate their symptoms. Always follow your child's doctor's instructions regarding dosage.
What if my child takes too much Emerest Syrup?
While not likely to cause harm, giving an extra dose of Emerest Syrup by mistake can have some side effects. It is crucial to consult your child's doctor immediately in such a situation. Excessive intake can lead to serious side effects like excessive sleepiness, agitation, fast heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerks, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These symptoms are collectively known as serotonin syndrome and require prompt medical attention.
How should Emerest Syrup be stored?
Store Emerest Syrup at room temperature in a dry place away from direct heat or light. Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
What all medicines should my child avoid while taking Emerest Syrup?
It is generally recommended not to give Emerest Syrup along with antidepressants, apomorphine, anti-migraine medications, painkillers, heart medications, and antibiotics like linezolid. However, it is best to consult your child's doctor before making any decisions regarding their medication plan. Share all relevant information about your child's medical history with their doctor for the best guidance.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as an irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, inability to pass wind, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Emerest Syrup along with it?
It is not recommended to combine Emerest Syrup with medications meant to treat depression or migraines. These medications may potentially lead to serotonin syndrome. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
