Zofran Online Prescription

Zofran - Summary

Zofran is a medication used in the prevention of nausea and vomiting in a variety of clinical settings. People who need a Zofran prescription can use Push Health to connect with a licensed medical provider who can prescribe Zofran, including Zofran generic and Zofran ODT, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Zofran Used For?

Zofran is a medication that contains the active ingredient ondansetron hydrochloride. Zofran is used for preventing nausea and vomiting in certain instances, including postoperatively and during some instances of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in cancer patients. Zofran belongs to a class of medications known as 5-HT₃ receptor antagonists. Found centrally and peripherally in the nervous system, these receptors may be affected by Zofran in both areas and produce a relief from symptoms of emesis. Zofran is not thought to antagonize dopamine receptors.

Zofran - Dose and Cost

Zofran has historically been available as Zofran 4 mg tablets, Zofran 8 mg tablets, Zofran ODT 4 mg and Zofran ODT 8 mg as well as in the form of an oral solution. After oral administration, the active ingredients in Zofran generally demonstrate a half-life of under 7 hours. The majority of Zofran's active ingredients are bound to proteins in the plasma and the drug is largely eliminated as conjugated metabolites in the urine. Generic Zofran is affordable, costing roughly 90 cents per Zofran 4 mg ODT for people paying out of pocket. Insurance may also help cover the costs associated with a Zofran prescription and Zofran coupons are also available through the manufacturer or online at times.

Can I Buy Zofran Online?

Zofran OTC is not available as it is a prescription medication in the United States. Because of this, one cannot simply buy Zofran online as the first step is getting a prescription from a licensed medical provider. People who need a Zofran prescription, however, can use Push Health to connect with a local medical provider who can prescribe Zofran ODT when appropriate to do so.

Zofran - Side Effects

Zofran, like other medications, can cause side effects and concerns should be discussed with one's medical provider and pharmacist prior to using the medication. Side effects that can result from Zofran use include headache, fatigue, diarrhea and constipation. Zofran use can also result in seizures, cardiac abnormalities, and bronchospasm. Zofran can also cause QT prolongation and serotonin syndrome and care should be taken when those conditions might be of concern. Zofran and alcohol should not be used together. People with a known hypersensitivity to Zofran prescription medication or any of the ingredients in the medication should not use the drug.
