Ondem-MD 8 Tablet contains ondansetron (8 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Blocking Serotonin Action: Ondansetron works by inhibiting the action of a natural substance in your body called serotonin. Serotonin can trigger feelings of nausea and vomiting when activated.

• Binding to 5HT3 Receptors: Ondansetron selectively binds to specific sites in your brain and digestive system known as 5HT3 receptors. By doing so, it prevents serotonin from activating these receptors, thus managing symptoms of nausea and vomiting effectively.

• Store Ondem-MD 8 Tablet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Maintain a room temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• Ensure the medicine is used before its expiry date marked on the packaging.

• As Ondem-MD 8 Tablet manages nausea and vomiting, consuming light, easy to digest food can aid in reducing these symptoms. Opt for clear broths, rice, or plain bread rather than greasy or spicy meals.

• Stay hydrated by sipping on water, herbal teas or clear soups regularly. This can help manage dehydration caused by excessive vomiting.
