Serotonin release stimulates vomiting following chemotherapy. Therefore, serotonin antagonists are effective in preventing and treating nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy. An example of an effective serotonin antagonist antiemetic is:
1
ondansetron (Zofran).
2
fluoxetine (Prozac).
3
paroxetine (Paxil).
4
sertraline (Zoloft).
