Description

Vomiplug Injection by Ellanjey is a prescription-only, fast-acting antiemetic formulation containing Ondansetron Hydrochloride I.P. equivalent to Ondansetron 2mg per 2ml ampoule. It is indicated for the prevention and management of nausea and vomiting caused by various clinical conditions, particularly chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV), and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
