Ondansetron

Ondansetron is a medication belonging to a class of drugs called serotonin-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists. It is primarily used to prevent and alleviate nausea and vomiting caused by various factors, including chemotherapy treatments, surgery, and certain medical conditions. By blocking the action of serotonin, ondansetron helps reduce the sensitivity of the stomach and gut to nausea-inducing signals, thereby providing relief. It is available in tablet, oral solution, and injectable forms to accommodate different patient preferences and needs. Healthcare professionals may prescribe ondansetron to patients as part of a comprehensive care plan to enhance comfort and well-being during and after medical procedures.
