Ondansetron, commonly marketed under the brand name Zofran, is a medication primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Each package contains 30 tablets of ondansetron.

Key Features:

  • Antiemetic action: Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in nausea and vomiting pathways in the brain, thereby preventing and relieving these symptoms.
  • Rapid onset of action: Zofran tablets provide quick relief from nausea and vomiting, making it an effective option for individuals undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgical procedures.
  • Multiple formulations: In addition to tablets, Ondansetron is available in other formulations such as oral dissolving tablets, oral solution, and injectable forms, providing flexibility in administration for different patient needs.

Usage Instructions:

  • The dosage of Zofran varies depending on the cause of nausea and vomiting, the patient’s age, and other factors. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
  • For chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, the typical dosage for adults is 8mg orally 30 minutes before chemotherapy, followed by additional doses as directed by your doctor.

  • Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications before starting Ondansetron.
  • Use caution if you have a history of certain heart conditions or electrolyte abnormalities, as Ondansetron may prolong the QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG).
