About Eterna Suspension

Eterna Suspension 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.

Eterna Suspension 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, Eterna Suspension prevents the sensation of nausea and vomiting caused due to cancer chemotherapy.

Eterna Suspension 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 Eterna Suspension to the child. Eterna Suspension can be given with or without food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician.

Eterna Suspension is intended for paediatric use only. Avoid giving Eterna Suspension 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.

Nausea/Vomiting: Nausea is an uneasy feeling in the stomach that may come and go in waves in which a person feels a strong urge to vomit. It happens before vomiting. Vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of stomach contents through the mouth. Usually, your child can face nausea and vomiting as the unpleasant effects of cancer therapy after chemotherapy. It is essential to control vomiting and nausea in cancer patients for performing everyday activities of the day.
