๐Ÿ”ฌ Pharmacology (PK/PD)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionWell absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; oral bioavailability is about 60% due to first-pass metabolism.
DistributionWidely distributed in body tissues; volume of distribution approximately 1.8-2.4 L/kg.
Protein Binding70-76% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismExtensively metabolized in the liver via CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4; major metabolites are glucuronide conjugates.
Half-LifeApproximately 3-6 hours in adults; longer in elderly (5-7 hours) and hepatic impairment (up to 20 ho
ExcretionPrimarily renal (about 5% unchanged) and fecal; metabolites excreted in urine and bile.
BioavailabilityAbout 60% (oral); 100% (intravenous).
Onset of ActionOral: 30-60 minutes; IV: within minutes.
Peak Plasma TimeOral: 1-2 hours; IV: at end of infusion.
Duration of Action4-8 hours (oral); 4-6 hours (IV).

How It Works

Selective antagonist of serotonin 5-HT3 receptors, blocking serotonin binding in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and gastrointestinal tract, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.

Mechanism Steps

1Ondansetron binds to 5-HT3 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the area postrema and in the gastrointestinal tract.
2Blocks serotonin (5-HT) from binding to these receptors.
3Inhibits the activation of the vomiting reflex pathway.
