Examples are ondansetron (Zofran) and granisetron (Kytril).A category of medications, also referred to as 5HT3 antagonists, is utilized to manage nausea and vomiting resulting from radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or post-surgical general anesthesia. In these instances, serotonin triggers the brain's vomiting center, and these drugs counteract the symptoms by blocking serotonin's action. Widely-used serotonin antagonists include granisetron and ondansetron."}
