Overview Onus Oral Suspension

PediaNausea oral liquid is a medication for children experiencing nausea and vomiting. Its primary use is managing nausea and vomiting related to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and gastrointestinal infections. It's also effective for vomiting induced by medications like analgesics. PediaNausea can be administered before or after meals. For chemotherapy-induced vomiting, administer 30 minutes prior to treatment. For radiation therapy, give it 1-2 hours beforehand, and 1 hour before surgery to prevent post-procedure 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 time. Temporary side effects, such as headache, constipation, diarrhea, and tiredness, may occur but generally resolve as your child adjusts to the medication. Contact your physician immediately if these persist or worsen. Disclose all medications your child is taking, including pain relievers, antibiotics, and antidepressants. Also, inform the doctor of any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, gastrointestinal obstructions, heart problems, or allergies to any medication, ingredients, or foods. This information is crucial for accurate dosing and treatment planning.

How Onus Oral Suspension works:

Prior to procedures like radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal surgery, or other significant operations, dying cells release serotonin into the bloodstream.

Administering Onus Oral Suspension beforehand counteracts serotonin's action on these brain regions, thus preventing vomiting.
