Osetron Oral Solution 4 mg/5 ml contains Ondansetron, a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, formulated for easy oral administration, especially for children or patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and postoperative recovery. Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter that triggers the vomiting reflex, providing effective and reliable relief.
