Onlit ODT tablet contains ondansetron which is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist which is used to prevent nausea and vomiting in severe conditions like cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. It blocks the actions of chemicals present in the body which causes triggering of nausea and vomiting.

• Prevention of nausea and vomiting in severe cases of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy
• In repeated courses of  emetogenic cancer chemotherapy

It is a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. The drug produces its antiemetic action by inhibition of 5-HT3 receptor present centrally or peripherally. This causes inhibition of vomiting centre, indirectly at the area postrema level and directly by inhibiting the serotonin activity in area postrema and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ).
