International, multicentre, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of ondansetron vs. metoclopramide in the prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting

Abstract: tron (32%) than with patients who received metoclopramide (24%, P=0.009) or placebo (16%, P<0.001). Ondansetron 4 mg was compared with me-In addition, fewer emetic episodes, less severe nausea toclopramide 10 mg for prevention of post-operative and a reduced need for rescue antiemetics were also nausea and emesis in in-patients undergoing major observed with ondansetron (P<0.05 vs. megynaecological surgery in this double-blind, rantoclopramide and placebo). Metoclopramide and domized, placebo-controlled, multi… Show more

“…1 Although a number of investigators have examined newer antiemetic agents such as ondansetron in other areas of clinical practice where mitigation of nausea and vomiting is the goal, few studies have been done to identify agents that can control the vomiting associated with acute gastroenteritis in the ambulatory setting. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The main objective of this trial was to study the safety and efficacy of ondansetron, a recently developed 5-HT 3 receptor antagonist, in the treatment of the vomiting associated with gastroenteritis in children seen in a pediatric ED. …”

“…A ondansetrona intravenosa, administrada no pré-operatório ou no intra-operatório tem-se mostrado eficaz na prevenção de NVPO tanto em adultos como em crianças 8,13,56,85,87,[89][90][91][92]110,111 . São, todavia, relativamente poucos os estudos que tratam da eficá-cia da ondansetrona oral na prevenção de NVPO 6,7,[112][113][114][115][116][117] .…”

“…Apesar de apresentar resultado mais eficaz que a metoclopramida 3,7,13,56,85,87,91,105 , o custo elevado das preparações intravenosas de ondansetrona tem ainda limitado sua utilização 81,106,107 . Assim, considerando as características farmacocinéticas favoráveis 108,109 , o menor custo e a conveniência da administração oral, busca-se, através deste estudo, avaliar a efetividade da ondansetrona oral na prevenção de NVPO.…”
