Question 1

what is the dosage of ondem syrup for 7.5 years old girl child. weighing 23,kgs?

Accepted Answer

Ondem Syrup: In the US this is Zoran or generic name Ondansetron.  It is used for nausea and vomiting.  The usual pediatric dose for children four years and older is 4 mg orally every 8 hours as needed.  The syrup usually comes in 2mg per 5 ml, so that would be 10 ml for this child.  As always check with the physician who prescribed it and your pharmacist.

Question 2

can ondem syrup be used for travel sickness for a 2 year old?

Accepted Answer

Ondem syrup: Ondem syrup is an antiemetic. Dose for a two year old should be 2mg and can be taken every six hours if needed.

Question 3

i have been vomiting so much that i just took 72 mg of zofran (ondansetron) at once. i am 103-106 pounds will i be ok?

Accepted Answer

Call poison control: That is a dose well above the recommended dosing levels.  To be safe, i would recommend you contact your local poison control center, so they can better guide you for symptoms to watch for, or if you need more immediate care.

Question 4

my daughter of 2 years had 3 days vomiting she was prescribed ondansetron she took it for 2 days but today she didn't take it and vomited. ?

Accepted Answer

Have her rechecked.: It's best in this situation to have her rechecked to make sure she hasn't developed a new problem (like an ear infection) since she was last seen.

Question 5

is there anything stronger and/or faster than zofran (ondansetron) odt8mg. pills for quick use when needed for preventing a cyclic vomiting spell?

Accepted Answer

See below: A higher dose of zofran can cause several side effects. You can, however, alternate zofran with a few other anti-emetics so different types of meds are used, thereby reducing the toxicity but hopefully improving your nausea symptoms. Ask your doctor if it is medically indicated & safe for you. Examples include compazine, reglan, & phenergan (promethazine).

Question 6

my son hasn't been feeling well since friday afternoon. he was vomiting, but that has stopped. i took him to the er and the put him on zofran (ondansetron).

Accepted Answer

Standard treatment: Your trip to the er provided you with both an assessment of the kids basic status and an effective medication to quell the vomiting.Most of these events are transient , passing over 2-3 days.As long as the kid can take in enough fluids to pee every 6 hours he will stay hydrated. A slow return to feeds is advised. If he gradually improves you can monitor at home.If he worsens have him re-evaluated.

Question 7

does zofran (ondansetron) only help with certain causes of nausea or is it good for all types of nausea and vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Zofran (ondansetron): Hi bonnie h, zofran (ondansetron) is indicated for nausea of really any type. It may be more effective for some than others. As with any medication, it affects different people differently. Hope that helps.

Question 8

10weeks preg.last prescribed metoclopramide pills didnt help with nausea & vomitting.now prescribed with ondansetron pills.can this help better?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I think promethazine, ondansetron, and prochlorperazine are the most effective medications for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy--in that order--assuming no other medical complications.

Question 9

i'm can't take ondansetron but need  something good for nausea and vomiting, is there anything thats not in the same family as that, i'm desperate?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is: You can be treated with Compazine or even phenergan (promethazine).  But  it  is essential that you undergo a full GI evaluation as well.
