Zofer Injection 4ml contains ondansetron (2 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Blockade of 5-HT3 Receptors: Ondansetron acts by blocking a type of receptor in your body called 5-HT3 receptors. These receptors are located in two significant areas of your body – the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone and your gastrointestinal tract.
• Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting: By blocking these receptors, ondansetron effectively prevents these areas from sending signals that can cause you to feel nauseous or make you vomit.

• Zofer Injection 4ml should be stored as directed by the manufacturer.
• The ideal storage temperature is room temperature, between 15-30°C.
• Keep the injection away from direct light and moisture.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Use it before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• If you are undergoing emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, ensure you stay hydrated. Consuming clear broths, diluted fruit juices, or oral rehydration solutions can help maintain your fluid balance.
• As Zofer Injection 4ml is also used for managing postoperative nausea and vomiting, it's important to follow your doctor's advice on when to resume eating and drinking after surgery. Starting with small amounts of clear liquids can help manage nausea.
