A member asked:

Is it harmful to swallow my ondansetron odt pill rather than let it dissolve under my tounge?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No, the intent of the odt is to allow absorption when a patient is likely to vomit back the regular tablet. It will not be harmful to swallow but is intended to dissolve in the mouth.
