A question about Zofran

[simoliz03]

  Hey everybody! 

  I have a interesting question about Zofran or Ondansetron.  Well first off my PCP perscribed it to me.  4 mg.  Since I got a fear fo getting sick, can you take this medicine if you would get a stomack virus?  I was reading around yes you can.  Did anyone try it?  If you did how do you take it in that situation and how did it work out?

  Thanks.

I am kinda confused on what you're asking. Are you asking if you can take Zofran when you get sick, like with the stomach flu or something? Then yes. I got norovirus (severe stomach flu) after a cruise and the doctor prescribed Zofran to me for nausea. I didn't vomit anymore after taking it but I'm not sure if it was from the medicine or if I was getting better anyway.

Yes, antidepressants can, indeed must be taken daily irrespective of whatever physical ills you may develop. There are very few diseases that are adversely affected by them, or that they affect.

   Yep, I ment the stomack flu/virus.  Just wanted to know if you could and can you still take it with water.  Since when you have that yucky virus your stomack does flip flops  .  Thanks guys.
