Prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and post-operative states; doctor may also prescribe for severe vomiting due to other causes.
Ondansetron is a selective 5-HT3 (serotonin) receptor antagonist. It blocks serotonin receptors in the gut and the vomiting center in the brain, reducing the nausea and vomiting reflex.
Oral syrup. Shake well before use and measure with a calibrated spoon/cup. Take exactly as prescribed; can be taken with or without food. Dose depends on age/weight and the cause of vomiting; do not exceed the prescribed frequency.
