A member asked:
Theoretical question- can you drink the medication from an ampoule of zofran (ondansetron) instead of injecting it and it will still be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is not intendec for oral use. The formulation not to be specific tends to be altered by gastric ph etc. Oral preps are researched to work specifically.
