About Audon Oral Solution

Audon Oral Solution is an antiemetic medicine. It is used in the treatment of paediatric gastroenteritis in infants and children aged 6 months to 12 years. It is also used in the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in children aged six months and above. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit while vomiting is the natural response to the body to forcefully discharge the stomach contents.

Audon Oral Solution contains 'Ondanestron' that belongs to serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of a chemical called serotonin in the body which is responsible for causing nausea and vomiting. As a result, Audon Oral Solution prevents the sensation of nausea and vomiting caused due to cancer chemotherapy.

Audon Oral Solution may cause certain side effects in your child such as feeling of warmth, headache, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. These side effects generally resolve over time. However, if it does not resolve, stop giving this medicine to your child and contact the paediatrician. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Audon Oral Solution to the child. Audon Oral Solution can be given with or without food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician.

Audon Oral Solution is intended for paediatric use only. Avoid giving Audon Oral Solution to your child if he/she is allergic to it. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition including his current medications and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your doctor if your child has liver and kidney disease.
