Ondansetron

Conclusion: We found high-certainty evidence that five single drugs (aprepitant, ramosetron, granisetron, dexamethasone, and ondansetron) reduce vomiting, and moderate-certainty evidence that two other single drugs (fosaprepitant and droperidol) probably reduce vomiting, compared to placebo. Four of the six substance classes (5-HT₃ receptor antagonists, D₂ receptor antagonists, NK₁ receptor antagonists, and corticosteroids) were thus represented by at least one drug with important benefit for prevention of vomiting. Combinations of drugs were generally more effective than the corresponding single drugs in

Conclusion: For patients receiving HEC, various antiemetic regimens improved CIV and CIN control. For patients receiving MEC, administration of a 5HT3RA plus dexamethasone improved CIV control. Analysis of antiemetic safety was constrained by lack of data.

Conclusion: Ondansetron is the only intervention that revealed an effect on the cessation of vomiting, on preventing hospitalizations, and in reducing the need for intravenous rehydration. Ondansetron was also considered a safe intervention.

Conclusion: Within a minimally contextualized framework, as single agents, intravenous tropisetron and intravenous prochlorperazine are definitely among the most effective, intravenous metoclopramide and intravenous droperidol are possibly among the most effective, and oral ondansetron is definitely among the least effective; considering certain adverse reactions, intravenous metoclopramide, intravenous droperidol, and intravenous promethazine are definitely among the most harmful.
