Setcan 2mg Syrup belongs to a group of medications called ' antiemetics,' primarily used in the prevention of vomiting (being sick) and nausea (feeling sick) that usually occur after cancer chemotherapy, radiation treatment, or surgery. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit, while vomiting is the natural response of the body to expel the stomach contents from the mouth forcefully.

Setcan 2mg Syrup contains Ondanestron, which works by blocking the action of a chemical in the body (serotonin) responsible for causing nausea and vomiting. As a result, Setcan 2mg Syrup prevents the sensation of nausea and vomiting caused by conditions like surgery, cancer chemotherapy, pregnancy, or motion sickness.

Setcan 2mg Syrup contains Ondansetron, which works by inhibiting the release of serotonin, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
