Ondansetron

Ondansetron, or Zolfran, is a medication that is used to treat nausea and vomiting. It is also used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Ondansetron is a type of serotonin antagonist, which means that it works by blocking the effects of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is involved in nausea and vomiting.

Ondansetron is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects, including:

• Headache
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Fatigue
• Dry mouth
• Blurred vision
• Muscle cramps
• Stomach pain
• Rash
• Allergic reactions

In rare cases, ondansetron can cause more serious side effects, such as:

• Serotonin syndrome (a serious condition that can cause symptoms such as confusion, rapid heartbeat, and sweating)
• Heart problems (such as heart rhythm problems and low blood pressure)
• Liver problems
• Kidney problems
• Bleeding
• Seizures
• Death

If you experience any side effects while taking ondansetron, tell your doctor immediately.

Ondansetron is available in a variety of forms, including oral tablets, oral disintegrating tablets, rectal suppositories, and intravenous (IV) infusion. The dosage and form of ondansetron that you take will depend on your individual needs.

Ondansetron is a safe and effective medication for treating nausea and vomiting. However, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects and to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Notes:

Considering my mother is allergic to sixteen medications, I’d prefer her not take anything unnecessarily. If anything, she’s been addicted to thinking pharmaceutical medications will cure her of everything.

She’s been free of meds since 4/26/23. Her nausea has been controlled with essential oils for the most part. When she moves around, she gets more nauseous. She just rode in an ambulance.

In my opinion, this medication might be beneficial short term; but the fact that it could cause seizures, death, and/or liver and kidney problems, it doesn’t make sense to me to take it. I think there are deeper issues to her belching that are being ignored because she has pancreatic cancer. Her own words, “If I didn’t feel nauseous, I would feel good.” I ordered a homeopathic remedy that helps with deeper issues called arsenicum album.

Imagine passing a football size bm. How long do you think it takes for your intestines to contract? Or relieve pressure from your organs being constricted for as long as the obstruction was there? She passed it on 4/29.

I’m just asking questions. It’s easy to say, you have pancreatic cancer, so let’s blame everything on it and not address all of the issues you’re experiencing. That mentality is dismal and cruel.
