How it works

Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin (5-HT3), a natural substance in the body that triggers nausea and vomiting. It acts on receptors in both the gut and the brain's vomiting centre, preventing signals that cause these symptoms. By blocking these specific receptors, ondansetron effectively stops nausea and vomiting before they start or provides quick relief when symptoms occur.
