Brief Answer:
pregnancy category B

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

Vomikind contains active ingredient ondansetron.

Ondansetron has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the US FDA. This means that animal studies of this drug failed to reveal evidence of fetal damage but there are no controlled data in human pregnancy.

So, it is to be taken only when necessary. It may affect fetus.

Hope this helps.
