Usage

Zofran (Ondansetron) belongs to a group of medicines called antiemetics. Zofran is used for the prevention of nausea (feeling of sickness) and vomiting during treatment for cancer (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting after surgery. Treatments such as general anaesthesia, cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy are thought to cause the release of a natural substance (serotonin), which can cause you to feel sick and to vomit. Zofran helps to stop this from happening, thus preventing you from vomiting or feeling sick. For Zofran orally disintegrating tablets, do not try to push Zofran ODT through the lidding foil. Tear along the perforations of the foil to separate off one tablet within its blister unit. Peel back the foil at the place indicated by the arrow. Gently push the Zofran ODT out of the blister pocket, and remove it with dry fingers. Place the Zofran ODT on top of the tongue. It will dissolve very quickly. Swallow as normal. Zofran Injection is not self administered by individual. It should be administered under the supervision of a health professional
