Bulimia
Ondansetron has also been used as a treatment for the eating disorder Bulimia Nervosa (Faris et al., 2000). Results revealed that the ondansetron treated group was associated with a significantly greater decrease in binge eating followed by vomiting than the placebo group (Faris et al., 2000). Reference: Faris, P., Kim, S., & Meller, W. (2000). Effect of decreasing afferent vagal activity with ondansetron on symptoms of bulimia nervosa: a double-blind trial. Lancet 355, (6), 792-797. {[subst:unsigned|Wikiuser 101| 06:18, 9 September 2005 (UTC)}}


 * Is it approved? No. It is being used often? No. So let's leave it out. With ondansetron they're both bulimic and constipated. Woo. JFW | T@lk  07:25, 9 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I concur. No it is not approved and nor has been used often. My post merely serves to inform that ondansetron has been used as a treatment alternative for bulimia. That is it. Have you considered reading the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiuser 101 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 10 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I have a fairly heavy reading routine, and decided to pass this one over. Is there anything you'd like me to comment on? JFW | T@lk  21:13, 10 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, the point I am trying to make is this, despite the fact it has not been approved as treatment and or used often does not necessarily render it ineffective or not useful. This is why I am suggesting you at least read the work first before you say “NO NO NO”. Constipation is a small price to pay where bulimia is concerned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiuser 101 (talk • contribs) 103:04, 11 September 2005 (UTC)


 * No, no, no. You are confusing a scientific finding with notability. JFW | T@lk  09:39, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Morning Sickness
Why no mention of its use to treat morning sickness? It's becoming fairly common, from what I understand. I've heard OBs describe it as anything from "completely ineffective" to a "silver bullet". In the interest of NPOV, I'll not edit this article, but perhaps somebody who has seen a report on it's use for morning sickness can add something here. maybe this:  --W0lfie 14:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Menier's Disease/Acid Reflux
I have had this drug prescribed to me for Menier's Disease(vertigo) episodes and it works VERY well in eliminating the vomiting caused by an episode. It made me wonder if this drug has been investigated for the relief of acid reflux disease. It is very expensive, $273.00 for 20 pills, and that's the generic version, not Zofran. Without insurance it's not affordable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.172.137 (talk) 12:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Use for IBS
It should be pointed out that it can be beneficial in some people with IBS, as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilansetron --82.60.5.13 (talk) 13:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Pregnancy
It should not been used during pregnancy as it can cause malformation. Advisory against its use came out in 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.133.201.68 (talk) 10:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Not for vertigo?
This is a strange claim, as I and many other Ménière’s disease sufferers I’ve talked to use it to manage episodes. Here’s a source that discusses use in vertigo.

Ondansetron and Nausea
Ondansetron seems to help nausea caused by gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach. I dont see anywhere explicitly saying so. Can anyone possibly add that to the article? I'm still new to Wikipedia to be honest. I've been taking Ondansetron myself for that problem, and it helps. Noam111g (talk) 03:17, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
