Likely yes: If you are a normal size adult (or even larger), and you already have an rx for zofran, (ondansetron) and you haven't had a problem on the higher dose or through IV administration of zofran, (ondansetron) and you aren't on other medications that could interfere, then yes. Otherwise, (and do so anyway) call your doctor and ask when they are open in the morning. Kids with cancer, taking chemo, are routinely given 8mg or more.
