ANSET MD TABLET is an antiemetic medicine. It is used in the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy in children. It is also used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by stomach problems and surgery. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit while vomiting is the natural response to the body to forcefully discharge the stomach contents.
ANSET MD TABLET contains 'Ondanestron' that belongs to serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of a chemical called serotonin in the body which is responsible for causing nausea and vomiting. As a result, ANSET MD TABLET prevents the sensation of nausea and vomiting caused due to cancer chemotherapy.
