A member asked:

Is there anything stronger and/or faster than zofran (ondansetron) odt8mg. pills for quick use when needed for preventing a cyclic vomiting spell?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: A higher dose of zofran can cause several side effects. You can, however, alternate zofran with a few other anti-emetics so different types of meds are used, thereby reducing the toxicity but hopefully improving your nausea symptoms. Ask your doctor if it is medically indicated & safe for you. Examples include compazine, reglan, & phenergan (promethazine).
