Ondansetron is an antiemetic drug that belongs to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT 3 ) receptor antagonists group. It has been widely used to treat nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, post surgery or due to any other gastrointestinal problem with 5-HT 3 receptors involvement. The typical adverse drug reactions of Ondansetron include headache, dizziness, constipation or diarrhoea. Here, we have observed the skin reaction around the site of injection following Ondansetron administration. Recognition of this hypersensitivity reaction may allow better preparedness of clinicians to manage this condition.
