ondansetron and Anorexia

ondansetron has been researched along with Anorexia in 7 studies

Ondansetron: A competitive serotonin type 3 receptor antagonist. It is effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, including cisplatin, and has reported anxiolytic and neuroleptic properties.

Anorexia: The lack or loss of APPETITE accompanied by an aversion to food and the inability to eat. It is the defining characteristic of the disorder ANOREXIA NERVOSA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Effects of some selective serotonergic (5-HT) antagonists on methamphetamine-induced anorexia were investigated in male mice."7.73Ondansetron, a selective 5-HT3 antagonist, antagonizes methamphetamine-induced anorexia in mice. ( Al-Majed, AA; Al-Suwailem, AK; Ginawi, OT, 2005)
" Both drugs showed similar results in regard to chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal side effects, emesis and appetite loss on day 1, but by day 5, ramosetron was significantly better than ondansetron in terms of controlling appetite loss."5.12Ramosetron versus ondansetron in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal side effects: A prospective randomized controlled study. ( Ai, B; Dong, M; Han, X; He, X; Huang, D; Liu, P; Shi, Y; Yang, S; Zhang, C; Zhou, S, 2007)
"Eighty-five in-patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy were randomly divided into 2 groups: Nasea group (group A, n = 43, Nasea, ramosetron hydrochloride was injected intravenously 30 minutes before chemotherapy) and ondansetron group (group B, n = 42, ondamsetron was injected intravenously 30 minutes before chemotherapy)."2.71[Effects of Nasea on prevention of gastrointestinal side effects caused by chemotherapeutic drugs]. ( Liu, DW; Liu, YY; Shan, XJ; Xie, XD; Zheng, ZD, 2003)
"Patients with metastatic cancer who were not undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy and who had lost >5% of their body weight were eligible."2.69Serotonergic blockade in the treatment of the cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome. ( Edelman, MJ; Gandara, DR; Gietzen, DW; Houston, J; Ishii, R; Lauder, I; Meyers, FJ; O'Mahony, M; Uhrich, M, 1999)
