Ondansetron is a medication prescribed for the treatment and prevention of nausea and vomiting. It's a serotonin antagonist, meaning its mechanism of action is blocking the serotonin receptors in the CTZ.
Ondansetron is completely and rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration, and does not accumulate with repeated oral administration. Owing to hepatic first-pass metabolism, its bioavailability is only about 60% compared with ondansetron administered by infusion over 15 minutes.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
