Description
Ondansetron belongs to a class of drugs called antiemetics. Nausea
and vomiting may be caused by the release of serotonin with the
use of some chemotherapy agents. The serotonin binds to cell
receptors called 5-HT3 which stimulate the vomiting reflex.
Ondansetron helps to prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking 5-HT3
receptors so that the serotonin is not able to bind to the
receptor and initiate the vomiting reflex.
