SummaryZOFRAN® (Ondansetron Hydrochloride) is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with emetogenic cancer chemotherapy and postoperative nausea and/or vomiting. The active ingredient in ZOFRAN Injection is ondansetron hydrochloride, which acts as a selective blocking agent of the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor type. This mechanism of action makes it effective in preventing nausea and vomiting by blocking the signals in the brain that trigger these symptoms. ZOFRAN Injection is a clear, colorless, nonpyrogenic, sterile solution for intravenous use. It was first approved by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. in the United States in 1991. The pH of the injection solution ranges from 3.3 to 4.0. It is a widely used medication that helps cancer patients and those undergoing surgery to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. |
