About Ondy 2Mg/5Ml Syrup

Ondy 2Mg/5Ml Syrup belongs to the antiemetics drug group that is used for treating nausea as well as vomiting, caused by other medical treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. This medicine will block the chemical serotonin from releasing in your gut and your central nervous system. This will prevent vomiting and nausea. Ondy 2Mg/5Ml Syrup is available in four different forms that can be taken orally; tablet, disintegrating (dissolving) tablet, solution and film. It also comes in an IV (intravenous) form that can be injected to your body by a doctor. You can take it with food or without food.

Your doctor must be informed if you are allergic to Ondy 2Mg/5Ml Syrup as well as other medications that block serotonin, along with any other allergies that you have.
