• If you are allergic to ondansetron, other selective 5HT3 receptor antagonists (e.g. granisetron, dolasetron), or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).
• If you are being treated with apomorphine (a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease)

Advertencias and precautions

Consult your doctor, nurse or pharmacist before starting to use ondansetron.

• If you have experienced hypersensitivity to other anti-nausea or anti-vomiting medications, such as granisetron or palonosetron.
• If you have a bowel obstruction or severe constipation. This medication may prevent the movement of the small intestine.
• If you have any liver damage.
• If you are to undergo surgery to remove your adenoids located at the back of your nose (adenoidectomy).
• If you have ever had heart problems, including irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). This medication prolongs the QT interval in a dose-dependent manner (ECG signal of delayed heart repolarization, with a risk of life-threatening arrhythmias).
• If you have problems with the levels of salts in your blood, such as potassium, sodium, and magnesium.

Otros medicamentos and Ondansetrón Kabi

Inform your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication, including those purchased without a prescription.

• If you are taking tramadol (analgesic): ondansetron may reduce the analgesic effect of tramadol.
• If you are taking phenytoin, carbamazepine (antiepileptic) or rifampicin (antibiotic for tuberculosis): they decrease the blood concentrations of ondansetron.
• If you are taking cardiotoxic medications (anthracyclines (antibiotics against cancer such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin) or trastuzumab, a cancer medication, antibiotics (such as erythromycin), antifungals (such as ketoconazole), antiarrhythmics (such as amiodarone) and beta-blockers (medications that slow the heart rate, such as atenolol or timolol)): the use of ondansetron with other medications that prolong the QT interval may lead to additional QT interval prolongation, i.e., increase the risk of arrhythmias.
• If you are taking other serotoninergic medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as sertraline or duloxetine (both are antidepressants): cases of patients with the so-called serotonin syndrome (e.g., excessive state of alertness and agitation, increased heart rate and blood pressure, tremors and involuntary movements) have been reported after concomitant use of ondansetron with other serotoninergic medications.

• If you are taking apomorphine (medication for Parkinson's disease): apomorphine should not be used with ondansetron, as cases of deep hypotension (low blood pressure) and loss of consciousness have been reported when both medications are administered together.

Embarazo and lactancia

Ondansetron should not be used during the first trimester of pregnancy. This is because Ondansetron may slightly increase the risk of a baby being born with cleft lip and/or palate (openings or fissures in the upper lip or palate).

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

If you are a fertile woman, it is recommended that you use an effective contraceptive method.

Ondansetron passes into breast milk. Therefore, mothers receiving ondansetron should not breastfeed.

Conducción and use of machines

Ondansetron has no effect on the ability to drive or use machines.

If you have received more Ondansetrón Kabi than you should

Little is currently known about ondansetron overdosing. Overdosing increases the likelihood of the adverse effects described in section 4. In a limited number of patients, the following effects were observed after an overdose: visual disturbances, severe constipation, low blood pressure, cardiac rhythm disturbances, and dizziness. In all cases, the symptoms disappeared completely.

Your doctor or nurse will administer ondansetron to you or your child, so it is unlikely that you or your child will receive too much. If you believe you or your child have been given too much or not enough, inform your doctor or nurse.

There is no specific antidote for ondansetron; therefore, if an overdose is suspected, only the symptoms should be treated.

Inform your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or nurse.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
