Description

Ubkino 8mg is an oral tablet manufactured by ATCO Laboratories, formulated with Ondansetron as its active ingredient. Supplied as 10 tablets per pack, it belongs to a class of medicines known as serotonin (5-HT3) receptor antagonists, commonly used to prevent and control nausea and vomiting triggered by certain medical treatments and procedures.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 8mg of Ondansetron Hydrochloride, combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the tablet’s film coating and consistent absorption after swallowing.

Dosage Form

Ubkino is manufactured as a film-coated oral tablet, packaged 10 tablets per box, intended to be swallowed with a glass of water.

Uses

Ubkino 8mg is primarily used to prevent and manage nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical procedures. It works by blocking the action of serotonin, a natural body chemical that plays a key role in triggering the nausea and vomiting reflex, thereby providing relief and helping patients tolerate their treatment more comfortably.

How to Use

Ubkino is typically taken shortly before the triggering treatment or procedure, such as within an hour before chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery, exactly as instructed by your physician. It may also be continued for a short period afterward if advised. The tablet can be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole with water. Dosing frequency and duration depend on the reason for treatment and will be determined by your doctor; do not adjust the schedule without medical guidance.

Side Effects

Commonly reported effects include headache, constipation, fatigue, and mild dizziness. Some patients may experience a warm sensation or flushing shortly after taking the tablet. Less commonly, changes in heart rhythm have been associated with ondansetron use, so caution is advised in individuals with existing heart conditions or those taking other medicines that may affect heart rhythm. Any severe dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeat should be reported to a doctor immediately.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

The use of Ubkino during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, should only be considered after a physician has reviewed the potential benefits and risks, as some studies have raised questions warranting careful monitoring. Its use during breastfeeding should also be discussed with a doctor. Pregnant or nursing individuals should always seek personalized medical advice before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Ubkino tablets at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until needed and store safely out of children’s reach. Do not use tablets beyond their expiry date.
