Biochem/physiol Actions

Ramosetron hydrochloride is a potent serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with higher afinity for the 5-HT3 receptor than other currently available antagonists. Ramosetron is used clinically both as an antiemetic to treat nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy or after surgery, and in treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.
Ramosetron is a tetra hydrobenzimidazole derivative, containing an indole ring. It inhibits colon contraction mediated by serotonin, competitively.

Current pain management protocols involving many anesthetic and analgesic drugs reportedly provide adequate analgesia after TKA. However, control of emetic events associated with the drugs used in current multimodal pain management remains challenging. We determined (1) whether ramosetron prophylaxis reduces

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are distressing and frequent adverse events of anesthesia and surgery. Serotonin receptor antagonists (SRAs), including ondansetron, granisetron, tropisetron, dolasetron, and ramosetron, effectively decrease the incidence of PONV. Among these SRAs, ramosetron is the most effective
