About Zofran Oral Solution Uses

If you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation for cancer treatment, your doctor may recommend that you take Zofran Oral Solution beforehand to prevent becoming nauseous and vomiting. Some individuals undergoing surgery that involves their throat, mouth, esophagus, or abdomen may be instructed to take Zofran Oral Solution to prevent possible vomiting that could compromise the procedure. Children and elderly people can get hit hard with gastroenteritis, an infection of their digestive tract, and can benefit from taking Zofran Oral Solution (Ondansetron) to help reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

How to Stop Feeling Sick After Cancer Treatment

When you are being treated for cancer or undergoing surgery, your body releases a chemical called serotonin (5HT) in your digestive system and brain as a signal that your body is being poisoned or harmed in some way by the chemicals used to treat or sedate you. Messages are then received in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and your vomit center is told to get rid of the toxin that is in your body. Word is sent to your gut and you vomit as a way to save yourself. Ondansetron blocks the 5HT receptors so signals cannot be transmitted and your vomit center is unaware of any action going on.

Your Cells VS Cancer Cells

When cells in your body become damaged or die, your body makes more to replace them as needed. Simple and orderly. However, when something changes and cancer cells are evident, their growth and division is out of control and they begin taking up more space until they have taken over where useful cells once occupied.

Unfortunately, chemotherapy also involves destroying normal cells, usually the cells in your mouth, in your blood, hair follicles, stomach, and bowel. Although they do grow back, the side effects cause nausea, diarrhea, and hair loss. Depending on your circumstances and how ill you are, your doctor may decide to use an injectable form of Zofran.

Before You Take Zofran Oral Solution

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding before taking Zofran Oral Solution. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you currently take or use, including herbal remedies and vitamin or dietary supplements that may interfere with how Zofran Oral Solution works.

Zofran Oral Solution Precautions

Do not change your dosage of Zofran Oral Solution without talking to your doctor first. You should always store medications safely out of children’s reach and never share any meds with anyone else. Use a proper liquid dosing spoon or syringe to assure you are receiving the recommended amount of Zofran Oral Solution.
