Frequently asked questions

What are Ondimist Drops used for?

What are the common side effects of Ondimist Drops?

The effects reported most often with ondansetron are headache, constipation and a sensation of warmth or flushing. Hiccups and transient changes in liver enzymes can also occur. Tell your doctor about any rash, fainting or irregular heartbeat.
