Apulset Tablet 8 mg contains Ondansetron, an effective antiemetic medicine used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and other medical conditions. It belongs to the class of medicines known as 5-HT3 (serotonin) receptor antagonists.

Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin, a chemical in the body that can trigger nausea and vomiting. By preventing these signals from reaching the brain, Apulset Tablet helps patients feel more comfortable during cancer treatment, after surgery, or when experiencing severe nausea due to other causes.
