The unit dosage form comprising a multitude of immediate-release drug particles providing dissolution profiles similar to that of reference drug product, and one or more timed, pulsatile-release bead populations, comprising at least one organic acid, which solubilizes said weakly basic selective serotonin 5-HT₃ blocking agent prior to releasing it into the hostile intestinal environment, wherein the blocking agent is practically insoluble, is capable of delivering said antiemetic agent in patients in need thereof in a sustained-released fashion to be suitable for a once-daily dosing regimen.

The present invention is nasal spray of setron medicine includes the medicine component selected from Ondansetron, tropisetron and granisetron, osmotic pressure regulator and water.

The gene (SLC6A4) responsible for encoding the serotonin transporter (SERT) has a functional polymorphism at the 5′-regulatory promoter region, which results in two forms, long (L) and short (S). The LL-genotype is hypothesized to play a key role in the early onset of alcohol use. The present invention discloses the differences in treatment and diagnosis based on the L or short genotypes as well as on a single nucleotide polymorphism of the SERT gene, the 3′ UTR SNP rs1042173. The present invention demonstrates the efficacy of using the drug ondansetron and similar drugs for treatment based on diagnosing variations in the polymorphisms of the SERT gene and expression and activity of the SERT gene, as well as methods for diagnosing susceptibility to abuse of alcohol and other addiction-related diseases and disorders, for monitoring treatment and/or abuse (addictive behavior), and for determining which treatment should be used.

The invention relates to orally administrable, disintegrating film dosage forms which include ondansetron and methods of orally administering the film dosage forms.
