How it works
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 Indon Syrup just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.

Frequently asked questions

Indon Syrup is typically prescribed to prevent vomiting before major surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy sessions. It may also be used to treat vomiting caused by stomach diseases. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your child's doctor for guidance.
What if my child takes too much Indon Syrup?
While an accidental overdose of Indon Syrup is unlikely to cause harm, it's essential to consult your child's doctor immediately if you suspect an overdose. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as excessive sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, and seizures, may occur. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
How should Indon Syrup be stored?
Store Indon Syrup at room temperature, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Indon Syrup?
It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Indon Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medications to your child, as Indon Syrup may interact with other substances.
In what conditions do I need to call my child's doctor right away?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences symptoms of serotonin syndrome, including 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 Indon Syrup along with it?
Avoid combining Indon Syrup with medications used to treat depression or migraine, as this may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medications to your child, especially if they have a pre-existing condition or are taking other medications.
