The ingredient works by selectively blocking 5-HT3 serotonin receptors located on vagal nerve terminals and in the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Cytotoxic chemotherapy appears to cause the release of serotonin from the gut, and that serotonin can initiate the vomiting reflex. Blocking its action at these receptors helps prevent nausea and vomiting.

Must not be used by patients known to have hypersensitivity (e.g. anaphylaxis) to ondansetron or any component of the formulation. Must not be used together with apomorphine, because of the risk of a profound drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. Should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome. Check with a doctor first if there are electrolyte abnormalities, cardiac failure or arrhythmias, or use of other QT-prolonging medicines; ECG monitoring is advised in these situations. Check with a doctor first if the patient is taking serotonergic medicines.
