Pregnancy interaction:
Emeset 2mg/5ml Ondansetron, a serotonin (5-HT₃) receptor antagonist that stops nausea and vomiting, is in the syrup.
Pregnancy: When a doctor prescribes ondansetron, it is thought to be fairly safe during pregnancy. When other drugs don't work, it is often used to treat morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum.
But it should only be used under medical supervision, especially in the first trimester, as studies have not shown it is safe in early pregnancy.
Breastfeeding is usually safe because only tiny amounts get into the milk and are unlikely to harm the baby.

How it works:
Emeset (Ondansetron) stops serotonin (5-HT₃) receptors from working in the brain and the gut.
Serotonin is a natural substance that makes you throw up when you have an illness, are undergoing chemotherapy, or have surgery.
Ondansetron efficiently stops nausea and vomiting by blocking these receptors. It doesn't make you sleepy or drowsy.
