Nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic drug chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be treated with ondansetron. In addition, this product can also prevent and treat nausea and vomiting after surgery.

Can it be injected intravenously?

What are the functions and effects of ondansetron?

Ondansetron is an adjuvant anti-tumor drug. It is a highly efficient and highly selective 5HT3 receptor antagonist that exerts antiemetic effects by antagonizing the 5-HT receptors of neurons located in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Ondansetron has a rapid and powerful inhibitory effect on vomiting caused by some chemotherapy drugs with strong emetogenic effects.

Ondansetron can effectively inhibit or relieve nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy, and its efficacy is better than metoclopramide. Ondansetron can also enhance gastric emptying at antiemetic doses and help reduce nausea; it also has anxiolytic and diazepam effects on the central nervous system, helping to inhibit the excitement of the vomiting center.

Can ondansetron be given intravenously?

It is an injection that requires intravenous and intramuscular injection, while ondansetron tablets are oral medications. For vomiting caused by chemotherapy drugs that are highly emetic: Inject 8 mg of ondansetron injection intravenously 15 minutes before chemotherapy, 4 hours, and 8 hours after chemotherapy; for vomiting caused by chemotherapy drugs that are not very emetic: Inject 8 mg of ondansetron injection intravenously 15 minutes before chemotherapy. It is recommended to follow the instructions of your doctor for the usage and dosage of ondansetron.

Ondansetron is also called Shudan, Zofran, and Ondansetron. Ondansetron is contraindicated in people with a history of allergies or allergies to ondansetron, patients with gastrointestinal obstruction, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women. The above is the function and efficacy of ondansetron and whether it can be injected intravenously. I hope it can help you!
