User Reviews for Ondansetron

Zofran (ondansetron): Very bad side effects: increased nausea, and vomiting, trouble breathing, blurred vision, eyes would not focus, excessive dizziness

Zofran ODT (ondansetron): Best anti-nausea medication available. Very effective for those undergoing chemotherapy. Also good for conditions when you are nauseous and require a narcotic analgesic - nausea will still subside. If you are allergic to other nausea medications such as compazine and/or reglan, like I am (severe panic attacks), zofran is your safest best (only side effect I have occasionally noticed is slight headache). The only real downfall is the price of the orally disintegrating tablet, because there is no generic. The non-ODT tablet does have a generic, and is also very effective, but if you need relief FAST, ODT is the best way to go.

ondansetron: I had surgery and the post operative narcotics made me very nauseous and I had to throw up. A full dose (8 mg) of ondansetron helped but did not fully resolve the problem. Then I got Phenergan and all the nausea was finally gone. I think, for me, Phenergan is a better anti-nausea medication, but while ondansetron (Zofran) barely made me sleepy, Phenergan made me very sleepy. (I actually think, if you are at home or in a hospital, it is much better to take Phenergan as it seems to help more and also gives you a good sleep. If you need to go to work or school, you should take Zofran.
