Product Introduction
Ondem 4 Tablet is an antiemetic medication used to control nausea and vomiting, particularly when caused by certain medical conditions or treatments. It is commonly prescribed to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or stomach upset. Ondem works by blocking the chemicals in the body that trigger nausea and vomiting, helping individuals feel more comfortable during recovery from treatments like cancer therapy or surgery.
Key Benefits
- Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting: Ondem 4 Tablet is primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting that may occur due to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery.

- Helps with Stomach Upset: It may also be prescribed to manage nausea caused by non-cancer related conditions like stomach upset.
How Ondem 4 Tablet Works
Ondem 4 Tablet contains Ondansetron (4mg), a medication that works by blocking serotonin — a chemical messenger in the brain that can trigger nausea and vomiting. By inhibiting this chemical, it helps to prevent the sensation of nausea, making recovery from cancer treatments, surgery, or other conditions more comfortable.
