SPECIAL
WARNINGS
AND
PRECAUTIONS
FOR USE
There have been post-marketing reports describing
patients with serotonin syndrome (including altered
mental
status,
autonomic
instability
and
neuromuscular
abnormalities)
following
the
concomitant
use
of
ondansetron
and
other
serotonergic drugs (including selective serotonin
reuptake
inhibitors
(SSRI)
and
serotonin
noradrenaline
reuptake
inhibitors
(SNRIs)).
If
concomitant treatment with ondansetron and other
serotonergic
drugs
is
clinically
warranted,
appropriate observation of the patient is advised.
The development of serotonin syndrome
has been reported with 5-HT receptor
antagonists alone. Most reports have been
associated with concomitant use of
serotonergic drugs (e.g., selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and
norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs),
monoamine oxidase inhibitors, mirtazapine,
fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, and intravenous
methylene blue). Some of the reported
cases were fatal. Serotonin syndrome
occurring with overdose of ZOFRAN alone
has also been reported. The majority of
reports of serotonin syndrome related to 5-
HT receptor antagonist use occurred in a
post-anesthesia care unit or an infusion
center.
