Zofran 8mg contains Ondansetron, a selective serotonin receptor antagonist. This medication provides physiological support by blocking serotonin receptors both peripherally on vagal nerve terminals and centrally in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, effectively preventing and treating nausea and vomiting induced by cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgical procedures.
