Diocid-O Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents that prevent nausea and vomiting associated with conditions like cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, pregnancy and motion sickness. It may also be indicated in conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and ulcers in the stomach or intestine. It contains Omeprazole and Ondansetron. Omeprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps that produce stomach acid. It reduces the amount of acid the stomach produces and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. Ondansetron blocks 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.

• Diocid-O Tablet should be taken one hour before a meal.
• It is usually taken once daily, preferably in the morning, or as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow Diocid-O Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break it.

• Eat a healthy, low-fat diet, especially in small portions, as it will be easy for digestion. Avoid eating overly sweet food and include more salty food, especially if you have been vomiting.
• Also, if you like to vomit at a specific time, avoid eating your favourite food at that particular time, as your taste for that food may get turned off. 
• Drink any other liquid at least 30 minutes after eating food. 
• If the smell of food makes you feel sick (vomit), do not cook food as it may worsen your condition. Let someone else do the cooking or use prepared food from the freezer.
