Emtron Adverse Reactions

Adverse events are listed below by system organ class and frequency. Frequencies are defined as: very common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 and <1/10), uncommon ((≥1/1000 and <1/100), rare ((≥11/10000 and <1/1000) and very rare (<1/10000) including isolated reports. Very common, common and uncommon events were generally determined from post marketing spontaneous data.
The following frequencies are estimated at the standard recommended doses of ondansetron according to indication and formulation.
Immune system disorders: Rare: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions sometimes severe, including anaphylaxis.
