At a moderate intensity emetogenic action of chemotherapy or radiotherapy - 8 mg/bolus or slow/m, just before the beginning of therapy. When a significant expression emetogenic action of chemotherapy: administered in/jet slowly to 8 mg immediately before chemotherapy and then/jet - 8 mg every 2-4 h or in/to drip continuously at a rate of 1 mg/h for 24 hours, or drip directly before the start of chemotherapy at a dose of 16-32 mg diluted in 50-100 ml of appropriate infusion solution for 15 min. odansetron Efficiency can be increased by single I/V administration of corticosteroids (e.g. 20 mg of dexamethasone) before beginning of chemotherapy.
