Ondansetron Prescription Online

Ondansetron - An Overview

Ondansetron, marketed under the brand name Zofran, is a 5-HT₃ receptor antagonist. Through Push Health, people who might need an ondansetron prescription can connect with a licensed medical provider who can prescribe the medication when appropriate to do so.

What Is Ondansetron Used For?

Ondansetron, marketed under the brand name Zofran, is a medication sometimes prescribed for the prevention of nausea and vomiting - similar to prochlorperazine (Compazine). Specifically, ondansetron is indicated for postoperative nausea and vomiting, nausea and vomiting associated with radiotherapy in certain classes of patients, and nausea and vomiting associated with moderate or highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. How ondansetron works is not fully understood. Ondansetron prescription medication is a selective 5-HT₃ receptor antagonist and, because serotonin receptors are present all over the body, it is possible that ondansetron works both centrally and peripherally.

Ondansetron - Dosage and Cost

Ondansetron medication is available in the form of tablets, orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) and oral solution. When found in tablet or ODT form, ondansetron is available in 4 mg and 8 mg dosages. Ondansetron tablets are oval, film-coated tablets that are white or yellow in color. Ondansetron ODTs are white, round, plano-convex tablets. Ondansetron oral solution is a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid with a strawberry odor. As a racemic form of ondansetron, ondansetron hydrochloride selectively blocks serotonin 5-HT₃ receptor types. Approximately 56% of ondansetron is available following oral administration of an 8 mg tablet and ondansetron metabolites are found in the urine. Ondansetron should be stored between 2° C and 30° C. Generic ondansetron HCl tablets and ondansetron ODT typically cost under $1 per pill at most pharmacies. Ondansetron coupons may be available online.

Can I Buy Ondansetron Online?

One cannot simply buy ondansetron over the counter as it is a prescription medication. People who might need an ondansetron prescription, however, can use Push Health to prescribe the medication when appropriate to do so.

Ondansetron - Side Effects

Ondansetron HCl medication should not be used by anyone with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to ondansetron prescription medication or any of the components or by anyone who is using apomorphine. Common adverse events in adults using ondansetron include headache, fatigue, diarrhea and constipation. Ondansetron also has other significant side effects, including, but not limited to, QT interval prolongation, serotonin syndrome and masking of progressive ileus following surgery or chemotherapy but is typically tolerated well. No antidote has been identified for ondansetron overdoses. Ondansetron medication should not be used at the same time as alcohol. All questions and concerns about potential side effects of ondansetron should be directed to one's pharmacist and medical provider prior to using ondansetron prescription medication.
