Description

Ondansetron 4 mg is an antiemetic medication commonly used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. It works by blocking serotonin receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, which are responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. By inhibiting these receptors, ondansetron effectively reduces the incidence of these symptoms in patients undergoing various medical treatments.

Each tablet contains 4 mg of ondansetron as the active ingredient, along with excipients such as lactose, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose. The typical dosage for adults is 4 mg, which may be taken orally up to three times daily, depending on the condition being treated.

Common side effects include headaches, constipation, dizziness, and fatigue. While serious side effects are rare, patients may experience symptoms such as a slow heart rate, severe allergic reactions, or visual disturbances. Long-term use may also result in an increased risk of developing serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition.
