summary

Effectiveness and toxicity evaluation is presented in ondansetron (zofran) treatment of
nausea and vomiting caused by Cytostatic drugs. In 38 patients (79%) the complete lack of
nausea and vomiting was obtained. Drug tolerance was good. Of essential side effects
constipation (38%) and headaches (31%) were found. Authors conclude that ondansetron is an
effective and safe drug against nausea and vomiting followed by cytostatics.
