About Anset R Injection

ONDANSETRON+RANITIDINE belongs to a group of medications called ‘gastrointestinal agent’ and ' anti-emetics'. It is primarily used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting. GERD is a condition in which the valve (sphincter) located at the uppermost part of the stomach gets irritated and damaged due to excessive stomach acid production. As a result, stomach acid enter into the food pipe, leading to stomach upset and heartburn. Heartburn is the post effect of acid reflux with a burning-like feeling that rises from the stomach towards the neck. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit while vomiting is the natural response to the body to discharge the stomach contents forcefully.

Medicinal Benefits of Anset R Injection

ONDANSETRON+RANITIDINE is a combination of two medicines: Ranitidine (antacid), and ondansetron (antiemetics).  It is primarily used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting. ONDANSETRON+RANITIDINE contains Ranitidine that helps in reducing the excess amount of stomach acid. In turn, it prevents the formation of an ulcer in the stomach (peptic ulcer), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with or without ulcer. On the other hand, ONDANSETRON+RANITIDINE is used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, pregnancy and motion sickness in adults and children above 4 years of age. When serotonin level increases in the blood, it stimulates the CTZ receptor (chemoreceptor trigger zone) located in the brain responsible for controlling nausea and vomiting. ONDANSETRON+RANITIDINE acts by inhibiting the release of this serotonin, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
