Ondem 4 MG Description
Ondem 4 tablet is used to prevent and control nausea and vomiting. It contains ondansetron as its main component, which works by blocking the action of a natural chemical called serotonin that causes nausea and vomiting. It's important to note that nausea and vomiting are not diseases but rather symptoms that can be caused by underlying medical conditions or as side effects of certain medications.
To ensure that you use Ondem 4 tablets safely and effectively, it's important to take them exactly as directed by your doctor and to inform them of your full medical history, including any other medications you're currently taking. Emeset 4mg tablet, Zofer 4mg tablet, and Ondet 4mg tablet are some other medicines with ondansetron.
