How it works

ODIBAY MD-8 contains the active ingredient Ondansetron. Ondansetron is classified as an antiemetic, which means it is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. It works by selectively blocking the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter found in the body. Serotonin plays a significant role in triggering nausea and vomiting. By inhibiting the effects of serotonin at specific receptor sites in the digestive system and the brain's vomiting center, Ondansetron effectively reduces the sensation of nausea and prevents vomiting.
