Q. What is Emerex Oral Solution used for?
Emerex Oral Solution is generally given before any major surgery or before chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. In case your child is about to undergo any of the above procedures, the doctor may ask you to give Emerex Oral Solution to your child to prevent vomiting post-procedure. Apart from this, Emerex Oral Solution is also found useful in treating vomiting caused due to diseases of the stomach. In such a case, your child’s doctor may prescribe giving Emerex Oral Solution to your child for a few days. Stick to the dose for best results.
Q. What if my child takes too much Emerex Oral Solution?
Emerex Oral Solution 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 Emerex Oral Solution 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.

Q. My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Emerex Oral Solution along with it?
