NUMIT INJ. 4 ML

Product Description:

NUMIT 4ML Injection contains Ondansetron in a larger volume formulation, providing the same powerful antiemetic action over a more gradual delivery. It is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting in adults and children undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. It is given by a healthcare professional in clinical settings.

Key Benefits:

• Higher volume formulation allows for slower and gentler IV administration
• Effectively controls nausea and vomiting from multiple causes
• Suitable for patients requiring a higher volume for dilution or extended slow infusion
• Reduces discomfort during and after cancer treatment or surgery

How It Works:

Ondansetron blocks specific serotonin receptors (5-HT3) in the gut and the brain's vomiting centre, preventing nausea signals from being transmitted. In cancer treatment, chemotherapy drugs trigger serotonin release in the gut, which activates nausea ? Ondansetron blocks this pathway to provide relief. The larger volume formulation allows for slower, safer administration.

Dosage & Administration:

• Administer as prescribed by your doctor ? often given 30 minutes before chemotherapy or surgery
• Complete the antiemetic regimen as planned even if initial nausea is mild
• Given by slow IV infusion or IM injection by trained medical staff only

Precautions:

• Tell your doctor about any existing heart rhythm problems before use ? may affect the QT interval
• Monitor electrolyte levels (especially potassium and magnesium) in patients on chemotherapy
