5% decrease in AHI Ondansetron, a serotonin (5-HT) antagonist selective for the 5-HT 3 receptor subtype has recently been shown to suppress sleep-related central apneas in rats, particularly in rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep

It occurs when the throat muscles fail to keep the airway open during sleep, despite efforts to breathe

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a prevalent Selective serotonin and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist
Contra: use of apomorphine
Children and adolescents with sleep apnea might perform poorly in school or have behavior problems
OSA independent from BOAS has been rarely reported
13 For this reason, ondansetron was not our first choice, however, following implementation in this case, it led to a marked reduction in SDBP There was no significant improvement in the respiratory disturbance index when comparing drug treatment vs placebo during non-REM sleep, however, indicating that obstructive sleep apnea during REM sleep is serotonin dependent, while non-REM sleep is not
Dog sleep apnea is a condition in which a dog temporarily stops breathing while sleeping

5HT3 receptors are located on vagal nerve terminals, enteric neurons in the GI tract, and centrally in the brain in a region called the chemoreceptor trigger zone
Increased physical activity and a special playtime session before they snooze could also Ondansetron is used in dogs and cats to treat a variety of conditions with the most common being vomiting, particularly chemotherapy associated-vomiting
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when throat muscles reduce space for air to pass through
dronabinol has been extensively studied as monotherapy and combined with other more traditional antiemetics such as ondansetron
Thus, understanding the serotoninergic Marked improvement in both frequency and severity of SDBP was noted with the serotonin antagonist ondansetron, as medical management for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
It's also a treatment option for pruritus (itching) and sleep apnea in some cases
This condition is different from obstructive sleep apnea, in which breathing stops because the throat muscles relax and block the airway
Surgery: Brachycephalic dogs may require surgery to correct breathing issues caused by BOAS, We aimed to test the hypothesis that a combination of ondansetron (Ond) and fluoxetine (Fl) may effectively reduce expression of disordered breathing during REM and NREM sleep in patients with OSA
