Treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum with the 5-HT3 antagonist ondansetron (Zofran)
Ondansetron is a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist which is known to be a highly effective anti-emetic drug for chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting
and for postoperative nausea. We report here a case where ondansetron was used in severe hyperemesis gravidarum to avoid parenteral nutrition. The drug was
used intermittently in every trimester with no apparent adverse effects on mother or infant.
