Mechanism of Action:

Ondansetron is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist that blocks serotonin receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. Serotonin release, triggered by chemotherapy, surgery, or other factors, is a major cause of nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron prevents this mechanism, offering effective relief.

  • Adults:
    • Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV): 8 mg tablet, 30 minutes before chemotherapy, followed by another dose 8 hours later. Then, 8 mg every 12 hours for 1–2 days post-treatment.
    • Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV): One 16 mg dose 1 hour before anesthesia or 8 mg every 8 hours.
  • Children (as per medical advice): Dosage varies by weight and condition.
  • Administration:
    • Place the tablet on the tongue; it will dissolve in seconds.
    • No need for water.
