Overview Glendan 2mg/5ml Syrup

PediaNausea 2mg/5ml oral suspension is a pediatric medication used to alleviate nausea and vomiting. It's primarily indicated for nausea and vomiting associated with surgical procedures, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and gastrointestinal infections. It also manages emesis resulting from analgesic use. Administer PediaNausea before or after meals. For chemotherapy-induced vomiting, give the suspension 30 minutes prior to treatment. For radiation therapy, administer 1-2 hours beforehand; for surgery, give it one hour pre-operatively to prevent post-procedure vomiting. If your child vomits the medication within 30 minutes, soothe them and repeat the dose. Avoid doubling the dose if it's near the scheduled time for the next dose. PediaNausea may cause transient side effects including headache, constipation, diarrhea, and tiredness. These typically resolve as your child adjusts to the medication. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your physician immediately. Disclose all medications your child is taking, including pain relievers, antibiotics, and antidepressants. Also report 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.
