Ondansetron belongs to the class of selective 5-HT₃ (serotonin) receptor antagonists.

Onsat Tablet 8 mg is suitable for use in adults and children as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Pharmacological Action

Ondansetron exerts its antiemetic effect by selectively inhibiting serotonin 5-HT₃ receptors located both peripherally on vagal nerve terminals in the gastrointestinal tract and centrally in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain. By blocking these receptors, Ondansetron effectively prevents the initiation of the vomiting reflex, providing strong and targeted control of nausea and vomiting without causing sedation.
