What is Ondansetron HCL?
Active Ingredients: Ondansetron HCL
Ondansetron HCL Injection is an antiemetic drug used to treat or prevent nausea and vomiting caused by surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. This drug is not usually used for preventing nausea or vomiting caused by factors other than cancer treatment or surgery. It is sometimes used to treat gastroenteritis in children.
Ondansetron is also used off-label to treat morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women.
Ondansetron is a serotonin (5HT3) receptor antagonist, which works by blocking the signals in the brain that might trigger nausea and vomiting.
