Kruzafen

8 mg, film-coated tablet, human medicine
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Off-label oral ondansetron for short-term control of clinically important nausea and active vomiting in dogs · By mouth
Care settingVeterinary-prescribed home or step-down treatment only when the calculated dose can be delivered accurately and the cause of nausea or vomiting is being investigated and treated
vetman score 5.7/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-035382 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

Ondansetron can help canine nausea, but this whole-only 8 mg human tablet combines coarse dose delivery with newly documented poor and variable oral exposure. Use only when the calculated dose is genuinely deliverable and response can be reviewed; otherwise choose a more accurate formulation or route.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.0/10

The exact human presentation has a sourced current Georgian registration and identifiable manufacturer and strength, but exhaustive checked EU/EEA, UK and US registers contained no exact trade-name match. It has no veterinary authorisation and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Ondansetron has credible canine anti-nausea activity, but two direct oral studies found poor and highly variable exposure: mean bioavailability was about 5% in healthy dogs and 25% of hospitalised dogs had no detectable drug. Clinical improvement without a controlled comparator does not resolve that efficacy uncertainty.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality4.0/10

The catalogue records this as a whole-only 8 mg tablet. It can directly match only selected dog weights and dose targets; most small dogs and dose adjustments require a lower-strength or validated compounded preparation. Repeated administration and poor oral exposure further reduce practicality.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Price was not assessed and is excluded from the overall score.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not combine with apomorphine: profound hypotension and loss of consciousness have been reported. This is especially relevant when apomorphine is being considered as an emetic in a dog.
  • Rule out gastrointestinal obstruction, progressive ileus and gastric distension when clinically plausible. Ondansetron is not prokinetic and suppression of vomiting must not delay diagnosis or decompression.
  • Review congenital long-QT risk, bradyarrhythmia, heart failure, hypokalaemia or hypomagnesaemia and other QT-prolonging drugs; use ECG monitoring when the combined risk is clinically important.
  • Review serotonergic medicines and monitor for agitation, tremor, hyperreflexia, hyperthermia, diarrhoea or autonomic instability; stop and reassess if serotonin toxicity is suspected.
  • Severe hepatic disease may reduce clearance and increase exposure. Use the lowest effective regimen and reassess interval, adverse effects and concurrent hepatically cleared medicines.
  • Do not use after hypersensitivity to ondansetron or another 5-HT3 antagonist; rare anaphylaxis and bronchospasm require immediate treatment.
  • Correct dehydration and clinically important electrolyte or acid-base disturbance, investigate the underlying cause and track vomiting, nausea behaviour, intake and bowel function. Symptom control is not treatment of the disease.
  • This catalogue presentation is an 8 mg whole-only tablet. Do not estimate a feline or small-dog dose from an unmeasured fraction of crushed powder; use an accurately measurable lower strength or validated pharmacy compound.

Assessed clinical scopeCat · Off-label oral ondansetron for short-term control of clinically important nausea and active vomiting in cats · By mouth
Care settingVeterinary-prescribed home or step-down treatment only when the calculated dose can be delivered accurately and the cause of nausea or vomiting is being investigated and treated
vetman score 5.2/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-035382 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

Ondansetron has a recognised feline role, but a whole-only 8 mg human tablet is a poor match for the small feline dose and oral evidence remains limited. Prefer an accurately measurable lower-strength or validated compounded preparation and reassess the cause and response rather than escalating blindly.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.0/10

The exact human presentation has a sourced current Georgian registration and identifiable manufacturer and strength, but exhaustive checked EU/EEA, UK and US registers contained no exact trade-name match. It has no veterinary authorisation and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Feline consensus includes oral ondansetron and cat pharmacokinetics found about 32% oral bioavailability, but direct controlled clinical evidence is limited and concentrated in induced or peri-anaesthetic emesis. Evidence cannot establish reliable benefit for every naturally occurring vomiting syndrome.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality1.0/10

A whole-only 8 mg tablet is far above the usual calculated feline dose. Crushing does not make informal powder division accurate or validated; most cats require a lower-strength liquid or pharmacy-prepared patient-specific dose, while the oral route itself has only moderate bioavailability.

vetman score 6.9/10 Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-046244, რ-041080 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

A useful off-label hospital antiemetic with direct canine IV efficacy evidence and accurate 2 mg/ml dosing. Select the patient and cause carefully, give IV doses slowly, and monitor higher-risk cardiac, electrolyte, hepatic or serotonergic-drug cases; IM use is less directly studied.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.0/10

The exact human presentation has a sourced current Georgian registration and identifiable manufacturer and strength, but exhaustive checked EU/EEA, UK and US registers contained no exact trade-name match. It has no veterinary authorisation and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy7.5/10

A blinded placebo-controlled crossover trial showed rapid benefit from IV ondansetron for vestibular nausea, and prospective parvoviral studies support antiemetic activity in hospitalised dogs. Evidence is strongest for IV use; IM use and broad extrapolation across every cause of vomiting are less directly studied.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality8.0/10

The 2 mg/ml solution permits accurate weight-based IV or IM dosing in hospital, but q6-12h treatment requires repeated staff administration and larger dogs may need more than one 4 ml ampoule. The exact human ampoule is not authorised for SC use.

vetman score 6.7/10 Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-046244, რ-041080 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

A clinically usable off-label feline antiemetic in a precisely doseable 2 mg/ml ampoule, but efficacy evidence is narrower and less certain than its frequent use suggests. Treat the underlying cause, distinguish active vomiting from reflux or obstruction, and monitor relevant cardiac, electrolyte and interaction risks.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.0/10

The exact human presentation has a sourced current Georgian registration and identifiable manufacturer and strength, but exhaustive checked EU/EEA, UK and US registers contained no exact trade-name match. It has no veterinary authorisation and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy6.5/10

Feline consensus and controlled peri-anaesthetic studies support ondansetron as an antiemetic, while a current systematic review judges the evidence limited, timing-dependent and lower-certainty than for maropitant. Direct trials across naturally occurring systemic and gastrointestinal disease remain sparse.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

The 2 mg/ml solution permits accurate small-volume feline dosing by IV or IM routes and one 4 ml ampoule is ample for a typical cat. Repeated q6-12h treatment still requires clinical handling, asepsis and monitoring, and the exact human ampoule is not authorised for SC use.

Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-043562 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

Ondansetron can help canine nausea, but this whole-only 8 mg human tablet combines coarse dose delivery with newly documented poor and variable oral exposure. Use only when the calculated dose is genuinely deliverable and response can be reviewed; otherwise choose a more accurate formulation or route.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.5/10

The exact human presentation has sourced current registrations in Georgia and EU/EEA, with an identifiable manufacturer and strength. It has no veterinary authorisation, no checked UK or US exact trade-name registration, and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Ondansetron has credible canine anti-nausea activity, but two direct oral studies found poor and highly variable exposure: mean bioavailability was about 5% in healthy dogs and 25% of hospitalised dogs had no detectable drug. Clinical improvement without a controlled comparator does not resolve that efficacy uncertainty.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality4.0/10

The catalogue records this as a whole-only 8 mg tablet. It can directly match only selected dog weights and dose targets; most small dogs and dose adjustments require a lower-strength or validated compounded preparation. Repeated administration and poor oral exposure further reduce practicality.

Care settingVeterinary-prescribed home or step-down treatment only when the calculated dose can be delivered accurately and the cause of nausea or vomiting is being investigated and treated

Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-043562 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

Ondansetron has a recognised feline role, but a whole-only 8 mg human tablet is a poor match for the small feline dose and oral evidence remains limited. Prefer an accurately measurable lower-strength or validated compounded preparation and reassess the cause and response rather than escalating blindly.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.5/10

The exact human presentation has sourced current registrations in Georgia and EU/EEA, with an identifiable manufacturer and strength. It has no veterinary authorisation, no checked UK or US exact trade-name registration, and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Feline consensus includes oral ondansetron and cat pharmacokinetics found about 32% oral bioavailability, but direct controlled clinical evidence is limited and concentrated in induced or peri-anaesthetic emesis. Evidence cannot establish reliable benefit for every naturally occurring vomiting syndrome.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality1.0/10

A whole-only 8 mg tablet is far above the usual calculated feline dose. Crushing does not make informal powder division accurate or validated; most cats require a lower-strength liquid or pharmacy-prepared patient-specific dose, while the oral route itself has only moderate bioavailability.

Price was not assessed and is excluded from the overall score.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not combine with apomorphine: profound hypotension and loss of consciousness have been reported. This is especially relevant when apomorphine is being considered as an emetic in a dog.
  • Rule out gastrointestinal obstruction, progressive ileus and gastric distension when clinically plausible. Ondansetron is not prokinetic and suppression of vomiting must not delay diagnosis or decompression.
  • Review congenital long-QT risk, bradyarrhythmia, heart failure, hypokalaemia or hypomagnesaemia and other QT-prolonging drugs; use ECG monitoring when the combined risk is clinically important.
  • Review serotonergic medicines and monitor for agitation, tremor, hyperreflexia, hyperthermia, diarrhoea or autonomic instability; stop and reassess if serotonin toxicity is suspected.
  • Severe hepatic disease may reduce clearance and increase exposure. Use the lowest effective regimen and reassess interval, adverse effects and concurrent hepatically cleared medicines.
  • Do not use after hypersensitivity to ondansetron or another 5-HT3 antagonist; rare anaphylaxis and bronchospasm require immediate treatment.
  • Correct dehydration and clinically important electrolyte or acid-base disturbance, investigate the underlying cause and track vomiting, nausea behaviour, intake and bowel function. Symptom control is not treatment of the disease.
  • This catalogue presentation is an 8 mg whole-only tablet. Do not estimate a feline or small-dog dose from an unmeasured fraction of crushed powder; use an accurately measurable lower strength or validated pharmacy compound.

vetman score 5.8/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-042444 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

Ondansetron can help canine nausea, but this whole-only 8 mg human tablet combines coarse dose delivery with newly documented poor and variable oral exposure. Use only when the calculated dose is genuinely deliverable and response can be reviewed; otherwise choose a more accurate formulation or route.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.5/10

The exact human presentation has sourced current registrations in Georgia and EU/EEA, with an identifiable manufacturer and strength. It has no veterinary authorisation, no checked UK or US exact trade-name registration, and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Ondansetron has credible canine anti-nausea activity, but two direct oral studies found poor and highly variable exposure: mean bioavailability was about 5% in healthy dogs and 25% of hospitalised dogs had no detectable drug. Clinical improvement without a controlled comparator does not resolve that efficacy uncertainty.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality4.0/10

The catalogue records this as a whole-only 8 mg tablet. It can directly match only selected dog weights and dose targets; most small dogs and dose adjustments require a lower-strength or validated compounded preparation. Repeated administration and poor oral exposure further reduce practicality.

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality8.0/10

The 2 mg/ml solution permits accurate weight-based IV or IM dosing in hospital, but q6-12h treatment requires repeated staff administration and larger dogs may need more than one 4 ml ampoule. The exact human ampoule is not authorised for SC use.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not combine with apomorphine: profound hypotension and loss of consciousness have been reported. This is especially relevant when apomorphine is being considered as an emetic in a dog.
  • Rule out gastrointestinal obstruction, progressive ileus and gastric distension when clinically plausible. Ondansetron is not prokinetic and suppression of vomiting must not delay diagnosis or decompression.
  • Review congenital long-QT risk, bradyarrhythmia, heart failure, hypokalaemia or hypomagnesaemia and other QT-prolonging drugs; use ECG monitoring when the combined risk is clinically important.
  • Review serotonergic medicines and monitor for agitation, tremor, hyperreflexia, hyperthermia, diarrhoea or autonomic instability; stop and reassess if serotonin toxicity is suspected.
  • Severe hepatic disease may reduce clearance and increase exposure. Use the lowest effective regimen and reassess interval, adverse effects and concurrent hepatically cleared medicines.
  • Do not use after hypersensitivity to ondansetron or another 5-HT3 antagonist; rare anaphylaxis and bronchospasm require immediate treatment.
  • Correct dehydration and clinically important electrolyte or acid-base disturbance, investigate the underlying cause and track vomiting, nausea behaviour, intake and bowel function. Symptom control is not treatment of the disease.
  • Give IV doses slowly and follow aseptic single-use ampoule practice. This exact human product is recorded for IV/IM administration; do not assume that veterinary SC pharmacokinetic data authorise SC use of this presentation.

Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, human · № რ-036970 · Verified on 16 Oct 2026 Off-label use

A clinically usable off-label feline antiemetic in a precisely doseable 2 mg/ml ampoule, but efficacy evidence is narrower and less certain than its frequent use suggests. Treat the underlying cause, distinguish active vomiting from reflux or obstruction, and monitor relevant cardiac, electrolyte and interaction risks.

Regulatory and scientific credibility6.5/10

The exact human presentation has sourced current registrations in Georgia and EU/EEA, with an identifiable manufacturer and strength. It has no veterinary authorisation, no checked UK or US exact trade-name registration, and its animal use remains off-label.

Clinical efficacy6.5/10

Feline consensus and controlled peri-anaesthetic studies support ondansetron as an antiemetic, while a current systematic review judges the evidence limited, timing-dependent and lower-certainty than for maropitant. Direct trials across naturally occurring systemic and gastrointestinal disease remain sparse.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Ondansetron is generally well tolerated at veterinary doses, but these exact human products have no dog- or cat-specific safety dossier. QT prolongation, serotonergic toxicity, constipation or masking of ileus, hypersensitivity and altered clearance in severe hepatic disease require patient and drug-list review; reproductive and paediatric veterinary safety is not established.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

The 2 mg/ml solution permits accurate small-volume feline dosing by IV or IM routes and one 4 ml ampoule is ample for a typical cat. Repeated q6-12h treatment still requires clinical handling, asepsis and monitoring, and the exact human ampoule is not authorised for SC use.
