Ondansetron Hydrochloride Injection

Function and Efficacy

This product is a potent, highly selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with a strong antiemetic effect. Chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy can cause the small intestine to release 5-HT, which activates the afferent branch of the vagus nerve through the 5-HT3 receptor and triggers the vomiting reflex. This product can block the triggering of this reflex. Excitation of the afferent branch of the vagus nerve can also cause the release of 5-HT in the Postrema area at the bottom of the fourth ventricle, thereby enhancing it through a central mechanism. This product is effective for nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, so this product exerts its antiemetic effect by antagonizing the 5-HT receptors of neurons located in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The mechanism of action of postoperative nausea and vomiting is unclear, but it may be induced by a common pathway similar to nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic drugs. This product can also inhibit nausea induced by opioids, and its effect
