Vomivib Syrup contains Ondansetron 2 mg. It comes in a pack of 30ml.

Ondansetron works by blocking serotonin 5-HT3 receptors found on the vagal nerve endings of the gut and in the vomiting centre of the brain. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can release serotonin from the small intestine, which then signals the nerves to start the vomiting reflex. By blocking these receptors, ondansetron helps stop that signal before nausea and vomiting begin. It does not act on dopamine receptors.

Must not be used if you are allergic to ondansetron or any part of the syrup. Must not be used together with apomorphine, as this can cause a severe drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. Ondansetron should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome. Check with a doctor first if you have electrolyte abnormalities, cardiac failure or arrhythmias, or if you are taking other QT-prolonging or serotonergic medicines; ECG monitoring may be needed. Check with a doctor first after abdominal surgery or if bowel movements have slowed, as ondansetron may hide a progressing ileus or gastric distension.
