How Eezem 4 mg Raspberry Flavour Orally Disintegrating Strip works

• Eezem 4 mg Raspberry Flavour Orally Disintegrating Strip contains ondansetron, a selective 5-HT3 serotonin receptor antagonist.
• During certain medical treatments, serotonin can be released and activate 5-HT3 receptors in the digestive system and nervous system, sending signals that contribute to nausea and vomiting.
• Ondansetron blocks these receptors and helps reduce the signals responsible for nausea and vomiting.
• By reducing these vomiting signals, Eezem 4 mg Raspberry Flavour Orally Disintegrating Strip can help patients feel more comfortable and make it easier to maintain normal fluid and nutritional intake.
