Frequently asked questions

What is Ondimist 2ml Injection used for?

Ondimist 2ml Injection is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and to prevent and treat post-operative nausea and vomiting. It is given by a healthcare professional as directed by the treating physician.

Is Ondimist Injection the same as ondansetron?

Yes – Ondimist is Allomedix Healthcare's brand of ondansetron. The injection contains ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate at 2 mg per ml in a 2 ml ampoule, so a prescription written for either the brand or the molecule refers to the same active drug.

Who should not be given Ondimist Injection?

It should not be given to anyone with a known hypersensitivity to ondansetron or another 5-HT3 antagonist, to patients taking apomorphine, or to patients with congenital long QT syndrome. Caution is also needed where electrolytes are disturbed or other QT-prolonging drugs are in use.
