ONDANSETRON HYDROCHLORIDE (Page 5 of 5)
Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting Associated With Radiotherapy, Either Total Body Irradiation, or Single High-Dose Fraction or Daily Fractions to the Abdomen:
The recommended oral dosage is one 8 mg ondansetron tablet given three times a day.
For total body irradiation , one 8 mg ondansetron tablet should be administered 1 to 2 hours before each fraction of radiotherapy administered each day.
For single high-dose fraction radiotherapy to the abdomen , one 8 mg ondansetron tablet should be administered 1 to 2 hours before radiotherapy, with subsequent doses every 8 hours after the first dose for 1 to 2 days after completion of radiotherapy.
For daily fractionated radiotherapy to the abdomen , one 8 mg ondansetron tablet should be administered 1 to 2 hours before radiotherapy, with subsequent doses every 8 hours after the first dose for each day radiotherapy is given.
Pediatric Use: There is no experience with the use of ondansetron tablets, in the prevention of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use: The dosage is the same as for the general population.
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting:
The recommended dosage is 16 mg given as two 8 mg ondansetron tablets 1 hour before induction of anesthesia.
Pediatric Use: There is no experience with the use of ondansetron tablets, in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use: The dosage is the same as for the general population.
Dosage Adjustment for Patients With Impaired Renal Function:
The dosage recommendation is the same as for the general population. There is no experience beyond first-day administration of ondansetron.
Dosage Adjustment for Patients With Impaired Hepatic Function:
In patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh2 score of 10 or greater), clearance is reduced and apparent volume of distribution is increased with a resultant increase in plasma half-life. In such patients, a total daily dose of 8 mg should not be exceeded.
