A member asked:
I live in sweden and my doctor gave me zofran (ondansetron) to take when i get the stomach flu to take away vomiting. do zofran (ondansetron) help? scared of vomit, panic!

Good for vomiting.: If you are questioning the efficacy of Zofran (ondansetron) for vomiting, I can tell you that it's very good for that. What I don't approve of is the indiscriminate treatment of vomiting or nausea without a doctor's close supervision. Vomiting is a symptom, which can be caused by many diagnoses. Treating a symptom without knowing the diagnosis can lead to trouble.
