Nurse did 8mg zofran (ondansetron) in four ml injection into my upper arm, slowly ovr the course of a min. 4ml is a crazy amt for i.m. injection no?! arm hurts now!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

4 ml?- sure?: This is twice the maximum IM dose of most medicines, except , perhaps the old benzathine penicillin. Consult your treating physician and the nurse who gave you that injection.
