If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking Ondansetron ratio. If you are a woman of childbearing age, you are advised to use an effective method of contraception.

Do not breastfeed if you are taking ondansetron, as small amounts of ondansetron pass into breast milk. Ask your doctor for advice.
