Ondansetron appears cost-effective in the ED setting. An evidence-based review of ondansetron for gastroenteritis by the Canadian Paediatric Society recommended. -a single oral dose of ondansetron for children (aged 6 months to 12 years).âwith mild to moderate dehydration or failed oral rehydration and. ânot predominantly moderate to severe diarrhea.Ondansetron can be administered by IV or orally (dissolving formulations are available). non-randomized Canadian study suggested that standardized pathways for managing dehydration due to gastroenteritis in the ED might reduce IV use and length of stay with no effect on revisit rates. Adding ondansetron to such standardized gastroenteritis treatment pathways might benefit patients further.
