Ondane Syrup

Composition :

Each 5 ml ONDANE^® Sirup contains Ondansetron HCl equivalent with Ondansetron 4 mg

 

Farmakologi :

Ondansetron is a potent and selective 5HT₃ receptor antagonist. The administration of chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy may lead to the release of 5HT3 into the small intestine which will stimulate the vomiting reflex that activates the vagal afferent fibers by 5HT₃ receptors.

Ondansetron inhibits the starting this reflex. As a result of the afferent fibers vagal can also cause 5HT3 release in the postrema area, located at the base of the fourth ventricle, and this can also stimulate the emotions through a central mechanism. Therefore the Ondansetron effect in the treatment of nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy and cytostatic radiotherapy may be due to the receptor antagonism of 5HT₃ neurons located in the central nervous system as well as in the peripheral nervous system. In psychomotor experiments, Ondansetron does not interfere with the appearance nor does it cause sedation. Ondansetron does not interfere with the concentration of prolactin in plasma.
