title: [Evaluation of +ondansetron (Zolfiran) in prevention of vomiting in children treated with cytostatics].
abstract: The evaluation of Zofran in prevention of chemotherapy induced vomiting was performed in 37 children treated for neoplasms during 167 courses of chemotherapy. Good efficacy was shown in 90% of the evaluated courses. Our results suggest that Zofran is effective and well-tolerated, therefore it should be a drug of choice in prevention of chemotherapy induced vomiting.
