About Setrin 2mg Drop

Setrin 2mg Drop is an antiemetic medicine. It is used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy in children. It is also used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by stomach problems and surgery. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit, while vomiting is the natural response to the body's forceful discharge of the stomach contents.

Setrin 2mg Drop contains 'Ondanestron' that belongs to serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of a chemical called serotonin in the body, which is responsible for nausea and vomiting. As a result, Setrin 2mg Drop prevents the sensation of nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy.
