Has anyone had any success with taking kytril to reduce nausea?

Yes: Kytril has been used nausea induced chemo for the past 15 years. However, it is used in higher doses in europe. I used both Kytril and zofran (ondansetron) for chemo-induced nausea in the 90s and felt zofran (ondansetron) was superior, but the mechanism of action is the3 same.
