What Experts Say

Ondansetron blocks serotonin receptors in the gut and brain that trigger the vomiting reflex, making it effective for nausea caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.

It is usually given before treatment likely to cause nausea and continued for a short period afterward, as directed by the treating doctor.

It can affect heart rhythm at higher doses, so it is used carefully in people with existing heart conditions or electrolyte imbalances, and combining it with certain other medicines needs medical guidance.
