Question 1

hi. will zofran odt not work properly if swallowed whole? still having some nausea after my most recent dose i accidentally swallowed?

Usually: The oral dissolving feature is just a quicker way for many to get it into their bloodstream by having some absorbed under the tongue. The total dose would remain the same. The effectiveness might change some from a delay in absorption.
