Overview Raffsat Syrup

PediaCalm Syrup is a pediatric medication used to alleviate nausea and vomiting. Its primary application is managing nausea and vomiting related to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and gastrointestinal infections. It's also effective for vomiting induced by medications such as analgesics. PediaCalm Syrup can be administered before or after meals. For chemotherapy-induced vomiting, give it 30 minutes prior to treatment. Administer 1-2 hours before radiotherapy and 1 hour pre-surgery 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 next scheduled time. PediaCalm Syrup may cause transient side effects like 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. Inform your doctor of all medications your child is taking, including pain relievers, antibiotics, and antidepressants. Disclose any history of liver or kidney issues, gastrointestinal obstructions, heart conditions, or allergies to medications, ingredients, or foods. This is crucial for accurate dosage and treatment planning.

How Raffsat Syrup works:

Prior to procedures like radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal surgery, or other significant operations, dying cells release serotonin into the bloodstream. This triggers the body's emetic centers, potentially causing nausea and vomiting in your child. Administering Raffsat Syrup preemptively inhibits serotonin's action on these brain centers, thus preventing vomiting.
