Mechanism of Action:

Ondansetron functions by antagonizing the 5-HT3 receptors, which are found both centrally in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain and peripherally in the vagus nerve. This inhibition blocks the action of serotonin, a key trigger of the vomiting reflex, thereby effectively preventing nausea and vomiting. The liquid formulation allows for rapid absorption, offering timely relief for patients when they need it most.
