The active ingredient acts on serotonin (5-HT3) receptors found peripherally on vagal nerve terminals and centrally in the area postrema. When cytotoxic chemotherapy causes enterochromaffin cells of the intestine to release serotonin, the released serotonin can stimulate these receptors and trigger vomiting. Ondansetron blocks the receptors so the vomiting reflex is not started.

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.
