Ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) is a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. It is effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by radiotherapy, anesthesia, surgery or cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, including cisplatin, and has reported anxiolytic and neuroleptic properties. While its mechanism of action has not been fully characterized, ondansetron is not a dopamine-receptor antagonist. It is not certain whether ondansetron's antiemetic action is mediated centrally, peripherally, or in both sites. However, cytotoxic chemotherapy appears to be associated with release of serotonin from the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine. The released serotonin may stimulate the vagal afferents through the 5-HT3 receptors and initiate the vomiting reflex.

Prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. Prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with radiotherapy in patients receiving either total body irradiation, single high-dose fraction to the abdomen, or daily fractions to the abdomen. Prevention of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting. As with other antiemetics, routine prophylaxis is not recommended for patients in whom there is little expectation that nausea and/or vomiting will occur postoperatively. In patients where nausea and/or vomiting must be avoided postoperatively, ZOFRAN® is recommended even where the incidence of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting is low. Launch Date 1992

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

To prevent nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy the recommended adult oral dosage of ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) is a single 24-mg tablet administered 30 minutes before the start of single-day highly emetogenic chemotherapy; for moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy the recommended adult oral dosage is one 8-mg ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) tablet given twice a day (every 12 hours) for 1 to 2 days after completion of chemotherapy: the first dose should be administered 30 minutes before the start of emetogenic chemotherapy, with a subsequent dose 8 hours after the first dose. To prevent nausea and vomiting associated with radiotherapy the recommended adult oral dosage is one 8-mg ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) tablet given 3 times a day; for total body irradiation, one 8-mg ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) tablet should be administered 1 to 2 hours before each fraction of radiotherapy administered each day; for single high-dose fraction radiotherapy to the abdomen, one 8-mg ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) tablet should be administered 1 to 2 hours before radiotherapy, with subsequent doses every 8 hours after the first dose for 1 to 2 days after completion of radiotherapy; for daily fractionated radiotherapy to the abdomen, one 8-mg ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) tablet should be administered 1 to 2 hours before radiotherapy, with subsequent doses every 8 hours after the first dose for each day radiotherapy is given. To prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting the recommended adult oral dosage is 16 mg given as two 8-mg ondansetron (ZOFRAN®) tablets 1 hour before induction of anesthesia.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

On the isolated vagus nerve and superior cervical ganglion of the rat, R,S-GR38032F (ondansetron) behaved as a reversible competitive antagonist of 5-HT-induced depolarization with pKB values of 8.61+/-0.08 (n=19) and 8.13+/-0.07 (n=16), respectively. The resolved R- and S-isomers of GR38032F were approximately equipotent as 5-HT antagonists on the rat vagus nerve: the pKB values were 8.95+/-0.05 (n=16) and 8.63+/-0.08 (n=17), respectively. R,S-GR38032F was also an effective antagonist of 5-HT on the rabbit isolated vagus nerve: in this case the pKB value was 9.40+/-0.14 (n=4).
