Edyset Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antiemetics used to prevent nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy. Nausea is a feeling of uneasiness of the stomach that often comes before vomiting. On the other hand, vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of stomach contents through the mouth.
Edyset Injection contains Ondansetron which works by blocking the action of serotonin, a chemical that stimulates the vomiting centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone – CTZ) located in the brain. Thus, it prevents nausea and vomiting.
Edyset Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. In some cases, Edyset Injection may cause headache, constipation, a feeling of warmth or flushing, redness, and irritation at the site of injection. Most of these side effects of Edyset Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Ondansetron, Palanosetron, Granisetron, or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Edyset Injection should be given to children only in doses advised by the doctor based on the child’s body weight or body surface area. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, must inform your doctor before receiving Edyset Injection.
