Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon

Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon is an anti-emetic medicine containing ondansetron, a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor blocker used to help prevent nausea and vomiting. Each 5 mL contains 2 mg of ondansetron, and the lemon-flavoured syrup is designed for patients who prefer or need a liquid dose. Doctors may use Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon for nausea and vomiting related to illness, medicines, chemotherapy, or surgery.

How it works: Ondansetron works by blocking serotonin signals in the gut and brain that can trigger nausea and vomiting. Because Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon is a syrup, it can be measured accurately and taken by mouth when a liquid form is preferred.

Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon is a liquid, lower-dose strength that can be easier to swallow and easier to adjust for children or adults who need smaller measured doses. Compared with tablet or injection forms, this syrup may be chosen when a doctor wants flexible dosing and a gentler, measured approach to ondansetron treatment.

• Prevention of nausea and vomiting
• Treatment of vomiting from infection or medicine use
• Nausea and vomiting after surgery
• Nausea related to cancer treatment, when prescribed
• Motion-related nausea only if a doctor recommends it

• Measure Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon carefully with an oral syringe or measuring spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the 2 mg/5 mL strength is evenly mixed.
• You can take the syrup with or without food, unless your doctor gives different directions.
• If it is prescribed for a planned trigger such as chemotherapy or surgery, take it exactly at the time your doctor tells you.
• Do not take extra doses because the lemon flavour makes it easier to drink; the measured amount still matters.
• If you vomit soon after a dose, ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether to repeat it.

Each 5 mL of Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon provides 2 mg of ondansetron, so the dose is measured by volume as well as milligrams. How often it is taken and the maximum amount per day depend on the reason it was prescribed, your age, and your doctor’s instructions; do not assume a fixed schedule for this strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Ondansetron may include:

• headache
• constipation
• diarrhea
• dizziness
• fatigue
• tiredness
• mild stomach discomfort

• Emeset 2 mg/5 mL Syrup Juicy Lemon should be used only as directed, because the 2 mg/5 mL liquid makes it easy to measure too much if dosing is not careful.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of long QT syndrome, heart rhythm problems, heart failure, or low potassium or magnesium.
• Use caution if you take other medicines that can affect heart rhythm or serotonin levels.
• Tell your prescriber about liver disease, since ondansetron may need closer monitoring in some people with liver problems.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the syrup affects you, especially if you feel dizzy.
• Do not use it to self-treat unexplained or repeated vomiting without medical advice, especially if you have abdominal pain or dehydration.
• If the syrup contains sweeteners or other excipients you react to, ask a pharmacist to review the full ingredient list.

• other serotonin-affecting medicines such as SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, or linezolid
• QT-prolonging drugs such as certain antiarrhythmics, antipsychotics, or antibiotics
• apomorphine
• tramadol, which may raise the risk of serotonin-related effects
• some chemotherapy medicines or anti-nausea regimens that may need dose coordination
