Comparison of ondansetron with metoclopramide in the symptomatic relief of uremia-induced nausea and vomiting.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting are well-known gastrointestinal complications in chronic renal failure and are frequent indications for the commencement of dialysis. Although the administration of antiemetic drugs (metoclopramide and, recently, ondansetron) is usually mentioned, there are scanty data on their effects.
