Use with apomorphine (profound hypotension).
Mode of Action
Ondansetron antagonises selective 5-HT3-receptor, blocking serotonin, both peripherally on vagal nerve terminals and centrally in the chemoreceptor trigger zone. This action of ondansetron gives it its antiemetic property to prevent emesis due to acute chemotherapy mediated by serotonin.
