The meta-analysis suggests that spinal-induced hypotension‚ bradycardia‚ and amount of vasopressors needed were reduced with prophylactic ondansetron. However‚ Gao L et al recommends that further‚ stricter

When the observation period was extended to 48 hours‚ antifeedant activity significantly enhanced to 50.53 % at maximum dose (0.1 %) with hexane extract. Antifeedant activity was significantly superior at the higher doses of 0.03%‚ 0.05%‚ 0.07% and 0.1% with methanol extract after 48 hours. Like in no-choice bioassay‚ in choice
