A member asked:
Can intravenous zofran for nausea/vomiting cause cardiac arrest or ventricular arrhythmia? is it safe for heart patients with ven. arrhythmia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zofran + arrhythmia: There are reports of arrhythmias associated with (which does not mean caused by) intravenous Zofran. Some reports have suggested the risk is higher for patients with abnormal hearts, and that is generally true for most other possibly proarrhythmic drugs.
