Zofran Oral Solution is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. It is available in liquid form and is usually taken by mouth. It contains the active ingredient ondansetron.

Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin, a natural substance in the body that can cause nausea and vomiting. By blocking the effects of serotonin, Zofran Oral Solution can help reduce nausea and vomiting in people taking it for certain medical conditions, such as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Zofran Oral Solution should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken by mouth with or without food. Measure the liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special measuring spoon or cup.

The first dose of ondansetron is usually taken 30 minutes before the start of chemotherapy, 1 to 2 hours before the start of radiation therapy, or 1 hour before surgery. Additional doses are sometimes taken one to three times a day during chemotherapy or radiation therapy and for 1 to 2 days after the end of treatment.

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take ondansetron exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
