Ondansetron-induced pseudoallergy with non-ischemic myocardial injury: A rare case report of Kounis Syndrome

Abstract

Ondansetron is an FDA-approved selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor commonly indicated as an anti-emetic agent for nausea and vomiting. It is rare to observe fatal reactions from ondansetron despite having no allergies or previous exposure. We report a case of anaphylactoid reaction with spontaneous coronary vasospasms in response to intravenous ondansetron.
