04How To Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a marked dropper and take it as directed. Amtrone 2mg Oral Drops may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
05How It Works
During radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infection, or any major surgeries, the dead cells in the body start releasing a chemical called serotonin directly into the blood. Later, this stimulates special centers in the body that are responsible for inducing vomiting in your child. Giving Amtrone 2mg Oral Drops just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
06What If You Miss A Dose?
Do not panic. Give the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, you must skip the missed dose if it’s almost time for the next dose. Do not give a double dose and follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
07Benefits

Stick to the prescribed dose, time, and way, and do not increase or decrease the dose by yourself without consulting your child’s doctor as it may result in side effects.
