Ondansetron to help children with cholera keep fluids down
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving ondansetron (a medicine that helps stop vomiting) can help children with cholera keep down oral rehydration solution (a drink that replaces lost fluids). The goal is to prevent dehydration and avoid the need for IV fluids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 17 years old.
- They must have confirmed or suspected cholera and be vomiting (at least once in the last 4 hours).
- Their dehydration must be mild (none or some) — not severe enough to need IV fluids right away.
- No known allergy to ondansetron or heart rhythm problems.
- You (parent/guardian) must agree, and children 7 and older must also agree.
