• Take the Zofer tablet precisely as a healthcare provider directs.

• Swallow the tablet whole, do not crush, chew, or break it.

• The Zofer tablet should be administered orally, which means it is taken by mouth.

Here are the step-by-step activities of the Zofer tablet:

• The Zofer tablet contains ondansetron, a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the gastrointestinal tract, brain, and other body areas. When the body detects harmful substances or irritants in the gastrointestinal tract, it triggers the release of serotonin. This serotonin then binds to the 5-HT3 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, causing nausea and vomiting sensations.
• Ondansetron functions by blocking the 5-HT3 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and brain, thereby reducing the sensation of nausea and vomiting. It also reduces the activity of the vagus nerve, which is responsible for triggering the vomiting reflex. Ondansetron is a highly selective antagonist that binds to the 5-HT3 receptor with high affinity and specificity. By binding to this receptor, ondansetron prevents serotonin from binding to and activating it, reducing the sensation of nausea and vomiting. It is also believed to decrease the release of other neurotransmitters involved in the vomiting reflex, such as dopamine.

• Store this medicine at room temperature (15-25ºC).
• Protect it from light and moisture.
• Keep Zofer tablets away from children.
• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date has passed.

• Take a Zofer tablet with food or immediately after a meal to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
• To maintain good health, it's crucial to consume a balanced and nutritious diet that includes a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, skinless poultry, nuts, fish, whole grains, plant-based oils, and low-fat dairy products. 
• However, avoiding greasy or oily foods is essential as they can trigger nausea and vomiting. 
• Opting for cooler foods over hot and spicy options can help alleviate these symptoms. Clear broths, non-fat yoghurt, fruit juice, sherbet, and sports drinks can be consumed to replenish lost fluids due to vomiting. 
• By adhering to these dietary guidelines, one can promote good health and prevent discomfort.

• Take the Zofer Tablet exactly as your healthcare provider prescribes.

• It's also important to sip water regularly to avoid dehydration. These measures can help prevent and manage nausea and vomiting.
• Follow a balanced and healthy diet and exercise regularly to help manage symptoms of nausea and vomiting
• Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late or pulling all-nighters, as it may worsen symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
