Methods HPLC determination involved liquid-liquid extraction, separation on a CN column and ultraviolet detection at 310 ran with granisetron as an internal standard. Pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of ondansetron in orally disintegrating tablets by direct compression and conventional 8 mg tablets were evaluated and compared in 20 healthy human male volunteers after a single oral dose in a randomized cross-over study. Results The limit of quantification was 0.25 ng· mL^-1. The recovery was about 85 % or over for ondan setron and about 90% for internal standard. Linearity was good within the concentration range of 0.5 - 50 ng·mL^-1 with r^2 ranging from 0.997 1 to 0.999 9. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation ranged from 1.78% to 2.38% and 3.88% -5.19%, respectively. Accuracies for spiked concentrations of 2.0, 10.0, and 30.0 ng·mL^-1 were 104.7% ±4.4%, 102.2% ± 1.1%, and99.51% ±2.34%, respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters of AUCo-t, AUCo-∞ , Cmax, Tmax, and T1/2 were 230.2 ± 78.0 ng·h·L^-1 , 265.2± 101.5 ng·h·mL^-1, 35.67 ± 8.94 ng·mL^-l, 1.51 ±0.79 h, and 5.00± 1.41 h for orally disintegrating tablets, respectively. The analysis of variance did not show any significant difference between orally disintegrating tablets and conventional tablets, and 90% confidence intervals fell within the acceptable range for bioequivalence. Conclusion High resolution HPLC method has been set up and applied in pharmacokinetic evaluation of ondansetron in orally disintegrating tablets.展开更多

Ondansetron has been used for prevention and treatment of the PONV. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of preemptive and preventive intravenous ondansetron on PONV in patients undergoing diagnostic gynecologic laparoscopy. Materials & Methods: In a randomized double-blind clinical trial, 80 women candidate of diagnostic laparoscopy, were enrolled to study in two preemptive or preventive groups (n = 40). Ondansetron 4 mg IV was administered 5 min before anesthesia induction or 5 min before extubation in preemptive or preventive groups, respectively. The frequency and severity of the PONV were compared at post-anesthetic care unit (PACU), 3th, 6th and 24th postoperatively in two groups. Also the first time of need for the antiemetic drug was studied. Results: Demographic data were similar but duration of anesthesia was shorter in preventive group. The PONV rate was similar in two groups [(37.5% and 32.5% in preemptive and preventive groups, respectively (P = 0.815)]. In preemptive group it was more intense at PACU and 24 hours after surgery (P-value <0.05) and rate of vomiting was high (11 vs. 3, P-value 0.037). The first request for antiemetic drug was earlier and the antiemetic consumption dose (P-value <0.05), recovery and hospital stay times were high in preemptive group (P-value = 0.001). Conclusion: Preventive ondansetron is more effective than preemptive form, in reducing the severity of PONV but not rate of the PONV in diagnostic gynecologic laparoscopy.展开更多

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was performed with 90 patients undergoing orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine, 15 to 17.5 mg, and morphine, 100 μg. They were assigned to one of the three groups: Group Ondansetron (n = 30), patients were given ondansetron, 8 mg intravenously, before spinal block was performed;Group P6 acupuncture (n = 30), patients were subjected to bilateral electrical stimulation of P6 acupoint for 30 minutes before anesthesia;and Group P6 acupuncture plus ondansetron (n = 30), the exact combination of the groups Ondansetron and P6 acupuncture. Results: In the post anesthesia care unit, the incidence of nausea and vomiting ranged from 13.3% to 26.7% and from 6.7% to 13.3%, respectively, with no significant differences among groups (p > 0.05). Ondansetron group had the highest incidence of nausea (73.3%) (p < 0.001) and vomiting (43.3%) (p < 0.001) at the ward from 0 to 24 hours, followed by P6 acupuncture (33.3% and 26.7%) and P6 acupuncture plus ondansetron groups (16.0% and 0%). Conclusion: Preoperative stimulation of P6 acupoint in combination with ondansetron has higher efficacy than either P6 acupoint stimulation or the administration of ondansetron on the prevention of PONV in patients submitted to bupivacaine-morphine spinal anesthesia.展开更多

Meanwhile, some reports mentioned that it is a probable cause of single generalized seizures after intravenous administration. Our report may be the first to indicate repeated generalized seizures after intramuscular therapeutic dose of ondansetron. Methods and Results: We report a 24-year-old female with nausea and vomiting related to gastritis that experienced repeated ondansetron-induced seizures shortly after a single intramuscular therapeutic dose. Two minutes after intramuscular injection of 4 mg ondansetron, our patient developed the first generalized seizure. Within the following two hours, seizures occurred two more times. In the emergency department, the patient developed a fourth, but weaker and shorter, generalized seizure. The patient was not hypoglycemic, but her blood hemoglobin and serum electrolytes were below normal. A few hours later, the patient was discharged. The dramatic onset of the seizures, as well as the complete recovery and absence of any neurological sequel in our patient, indicated that it was probably related to ondansetron. Conclusion: Patients should be informed about the potential side effects of ondansetron especially the life-threatening repeated generalized seizures, and clinicians should restrict its use to hospitalized patients.展开更多
