Medicinal Benefits
Donsip Syrup is an anti-emetic medication primarily used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting associated with conditions such as cancer chemotherapy, radiation treatment, and surgery. When serotonin levels increase in the blood, it stimulates the CTZ receptor (chemoreceptor trigger zone) located in the brain responsible for controlling nausea and vomiting. Donsip Syrup contains Ondansetron, which works by inhibiting the release of serotonin, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
