Pharmacotherapeutic group: antiemetics and antinauseants
Ondansetron belongs to a group of medicines called anti-emetics, drugs against feeling sick or being sick. Some medical treatment with medicines for treatment of cancer (chemotherapy) or radiotherapy can make you feel sick or be sick. Also after surgical treatment you can feel sick or be sick. Ondansetron may help to reduce these effects.
Please refer to the instructions on the prescription established by your medical doctor.
Ondansetron 2 mg/ml is given as intravenous injection (into a vein) or, after dilution, as intravenous infusion (for a longer time). It will usually be given by a doctor or a nurse.
Dosage
Your doctor will decide on the correct dose of ondansetron therapy for you.
The dose varies depending on your medicinal treatment (chemotherapy or surgery), on your liver function and on whether it is given by injection or infusion. In case of chemotherapy or radiotherapy the usual dose in adults is 8 - 32 mg ondansetron a day. For treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting a single dose of 4 mg ondansetron is usually given.
