What is the correct dose of Emeset 2mg for a 5-year-old child weighing 16.5 kg who is vomiting?

Asked by Male, 5 · 8 days ago

For a child weighing 16.5 kg, the typical dose of ondansetron (Emeset) is 2 mg (which is one 2 mg tablet or 5 ml of the liquid suspension if formulated as 2 mg/5 ml). This can be given up to three times daily as needed. However, please consult your pediatrician first to confirm the exact dose and formulation. In the meantime, try giving small, frequent sips of an oral rehydration solution to keep your little one hydrated.
