Ábendingar:

- Prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, including cisplatin ≥ 50 mg/m 2 . - Prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. - 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. - 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 orally disintegrating tablets are recommended even where the incidence of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting is low. The concomitant use of apomorphine with ondansetron is contraindicated based on reports of profound hypotension and loss of consciousness when apomor

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 ons
