Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 07/17/09
Gandhi R et al. - Ondansetron is more effective than dexamethasone in preventing the incidence and severity of PONV. Though, we are still far from the goal of achieving zero incidence of PONV, it is worthwhile to use a prophylactic antiemetic as it has a favourable influence on patient satisfaction. Further studies are needed to know the longer acting, more efficient combinations of drugs which can act on more than one receptor to block the emetic reflex.
