No, Zonde is not found to be effective against motion sickness. It prevents vomiting due to chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. Motion sickness is the disturbance of the inner ear caused by a lot of motion. It can be prevented by not taking too much food or too many drinks or alcohol just before the travel. One should also avoid food with very strong odours. One should avoid reading while traveling. One should also sit in the direction of the travel. One should sit in the front. Open a vent of fresh air and try to be relaxed while traveling.

Yes, Zonde is safe to be used in children from 6 months to 12 years of age. Apart from preventing nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy and radiation, Zonde can be used in this population group for managing acute gastritis. Acute gastritis presents itself as a self-limited infection with vomiting leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Always check with a child specialist and do not administer this drug yourself.

It is not recommended that you discontinue taking Zonde on your own. Discontinuing Zonde may lead to unwanted side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy such as excessive vomiting. You must speak to your doctor first as this will help you to take an informed decision.

Zonde must be taken for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor. You must not take more or less of it as it may cause side effects or disease relapse.

Yes, Zonde can be used for the symptom alleviation in anxiety, however, more clinical trials are needed to confirm this association. Anxiety can also be effectively managed by breathing deeply, practicing meditation, and not taking much stress. In case of severe anxiety please speak to your doctor.
