Dysit Syrup Uses

The following are the uses of Dysit syrup:

1. Prevention of nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy for cancer

As an effective anti-emetic medication, Dysit syrup can help prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. It is prescribed to people belonging to the following age groups for this purpose: adults, children and adolescents (from ages 6 months to 17 years).

2. Prevention of nausea and vomiting due to radiation therapy for cancer

Radiation therapy can often cause nausea and vomiting especially if given in larger doses. This complication is known as radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). Medicines such as Dysit syrup can help alleviate the symptoms of nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (being sick) by blocking the effects of serotonin, a chemical that sends messages between nerve cells in the brain that can trigger nausea and vomiting.

3. Prevention of nausea and vomiting after surgery

It is common to feel nauseous or having an intense urge to throw up in the first 24-48 hour period following a surgery. This condition is called postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Dysit syrup contains ondansetron, an anti-emetic agent that can control postoperative nausea and vomiting, alleviating your sickness symptoms and providing quick relief.

Drug Class

  • 5-HT3 receptor antagonists
