Prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat course of moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. 3. Prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with radiotherapy in patients receiving either total body irradiation, single high-dose fraction to the abdomen, or daily fractions to the abdomen. 4. Prevention of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting. As with other antiemetics, routine prophylaxis is not recommended for patients in whom there is little expectation that nausea and/or vomiting will occur postoperatively. In patients where nausea and/or vomiting must be avoided postoperatively, ondansetron tablets are recommended even where the incidence of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting is low. Ondansetron tablets are contraindicated for patients known to have hypersensitivity to the drug. Animal studies have shown that ondansetron is not discriminated as a benz

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Ondansetron is a selective 5-HT receptor antagonist. While its
mechanism of action has not been fully
characterized, ondansetron is not a dopamine-receptor antagonist.
Serotonin receptors of the 5-HT type
are present both peripherally on vagal nerve terminals and centrally
in the chemoreceptor trigger zone
of the area postrema. It is not certain whether ondansetron’s
antiemetic action is mediated centrally,
peripherally, or in both sites. However, cytotoxic chemotherapy
appears to be associated with release
of serotonin from the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine.
In humans, urinary 5-HIAA (5-
hydroxyindoleacetic acid) excretion increases after cisplatin
administration in parallel with the onset of
emesis. The relea
