Onco 8 contains Ondansetron Hydrochloride, a well-known antiemetic medicine used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. It is especially helpful for people undergoing cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy and for those experiencing nausea after surgery.

Mechanism of Action
Ondansetron works by blocking serotonin receptors in the body, particularly the 5-HT3 receptors found in the gut and brain. During chemotherapy or surgery, the body can release large amounts of serotonin, which triggers the vomiting reflex. By blocking this action, Ondansetron helps to control and prevent nausea and vomiting effectively.

Uses
Onco 8 is used for:

• Preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy

• Managing postoperative nausea and vomiting

• Sometimes used in other conditions where severe nausea is a symptom, as advised by a doctor

  Adverse Effects
  While generally well tolerated, some people may experience:

  • Headache and a feeling of warmth or flushing

  • Constipation or mild stomach discomfort

  • Dizziness or fatigue

  • In rare cases, allergic reactions or changes in heart rhythm may occur
