How can I give Emeset Syrup Strawberry to my child?
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Emeset Syrup Strawberry may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How Emeset Syrup 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 Emeset Syrup Strawberry just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.

FAQs
What is Emeset Syrup Strawberry used for?

In such a case, your child’s doctor may prescribe giving Emeset Syrup Strawberry to your child for a few days. Stick to the dose for best results.
What if my child takes too much Emeset Syrup Strawberry?
Emeset Syrup Strawberry is unlikely to cause harm if you give an extra dose by mistake. However, you must still speak to your child’s doctor immediately. Sometimes, excessive intake of Emeset Syrup Strawberry can cause some serious side effects like excess sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, flushing, dilated pupils, sweating, involuntary muscle jerk, uncontrolled eye movements, overactive reflexes, and seizures. These symptoms are collectively known as serotonin syndrome. If any of these appear, consult the doctor without any delay.
How should Emeset Syrup Strawberry be stored?
Emeset Syrup Strawberry should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all the medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Emeset Syrup Strawberry?
Emeset Syrup Strawberry can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Emeset Syrup Strawberry. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
In what conditions do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Call your child’s doctor immediately if your child develops symptoms of serotonin syndrome like 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 Emeset Syrup Strawberry along with it?
