Post Operative Nausea (PON) is a common side effect of surgery and can be treated with drugs. Gastrointestinal drugs are used to treat PON, as they can reduce nausea and vomiting. These drugs are typically administered intravenously or orally, and can be used in combination with other medications. Commonly used gastrointestinal drugs for PON include ondansetron, granisetron, and dexamethasone. These drugs work by blocking the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can cause nausea and vomiting. The PON drug market is highly competitive, with many companies offering different formulations of the same drugs. Some of the major players in the market include GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co., Pfizer, Novartis, and Sanofi. Other companies such as Teva Pharmaceuticals, Mylan, and Sun Pharmaceuticals also offer PON drugs. Show Less Read more
