Overview Eterna 2mg/5ml Syrup

PediaNausea 2mg/5ml Syrup is a pediatric antiemetic used to alleviate nausea and vomiting. It's primarily indicated for nausea and vomiting related to surgical procedures, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and gastrointestinal infections. It also addresses emesis induced by medications like analgesics. PediaNausea 2mg/5ml Syrup can be administered before or after meals. For chemotherapy-induced vomiting, administer 30 minutes prior. For radiotherapy, give 1-2 hours beforehand, and 1 hour before surgery to prevent post-operative vomiting. If your child vomits the medication within 30 minutes, reassure them and repeat the dose. Avoid doubling the dose if it's nearing the next scheduled administration. PediaNausea 2mg/5ml Syrup may cause transient side effects, including headache, constipation, diarrhea, and tiredness. These usually resolve as your child adjusts. If they persist or worsen, consult your pediatrician immediately. Disclose all medications your child takes, such as analgesics, antibiotics, or antidepressants, as well as any history of liver or kidney disease, gastrointestinal obstructions, cardiac conditions, or drug/food allergies. This information is crucial for appropriate dosage and treatment planning.
