What is ONDANSETRON INJECTION USP -(PRESERVATIVE FREE) used for?
Sandoz Ondansetron, Ondansetron Injection USP and Ondansetron Hydrochloride Dihydrate Injection are indicated for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with emetogenic chemotherapy, including high dose cisplatin, and radiotherapy, and for the prevention and treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting. For pediatric patients (4-12 years of age), Ondansetron was effective and well tolerated for post-chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Ondansetron cost around the world?
Ondansetron is listed on 17 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Austria publishes a KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis); Bahrain publishes a retail (max). Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.

480 pack listings across 230 brand entries and 15 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Ondansetron pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Ondansetron in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
43 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Ondansetron, across 135 DINs, of which 59 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.

Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 2 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SOLUTION |
| Route | INTRAVENOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Sandoz Ondansetron 4 mg tablets: blister packs of 10 tablets and bottle of 100. Sandoz Ondansetron 8 mg tablets: blister packs of 10 tablets and bottle of 100. Ondansetron Injection USP, 2 mg/mL, preservative free formulation: 2 mL single use vials, boxes of 10 and 4 mL single use vials, boxes of 10. Ondansetron Injection USP, 2 mg/mL, multidose formulation: 20 mL mutidose vials, boxes of 1. Ondansetron Hydrochloride Dihydrate Injection (Ampoules), 2 mg/mL: 2 mL (4mg) and 4 mL (8mg) ampoules, in boxes of 5 ampoules. |
| Storage | null |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation, because this listing covers more than one of them.

Is Ondansetron in shortage in Canada?
A Canadian shortage report is on file for a product containing this molecule: Resolved — reported by SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED, last seen 09 Sep 2026. A shortage on one presentation does not always affect every DIN of the molecule — the alternatives below list what else is marketed in Canada. Nexara can confirm current availability and identify substitutions or import options where permitted.

What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
