General information
Class/mechanism: Selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Chemotherapy medications can cause nausea and vomiting by stimulating release of serotonin from the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine, and serotonin triggers the vomiting reflex by binding to and activating 5-HT3 receptors. Ondansetron prevents nausea and vomiting by binding with high affinity to 5-HT3 receptors and blocking their activation by serotonin.[1][2]
