Feeling queasy? Zofran (ondansetron) is a common medication prescribed to combat nausea and vomiting. But when you're feeling awful, knowing how long it takes to work is crucial.
Generally, you can expect Zofran to start working within **30 minutes to 1 hour** after taking it. This applies whether you're taking the oral tablet, orally disintegrating tablet (ODT), or receiving it intravenously (IV). The ODT form, which dissolves under your tongue, may work slightly faster for some people.
Several factors can influence the speed of relief, including the severity of your nausea, your individual metabolism, and whether you've recently eaten. If you're still feeling nauseous after an hour, contact your doctor. They can assess your situation and determine if an alternative treatment or dosage adjustment is necessary. Remember to always follow your doctor's instructions and never exceed the prescribed dosage. Getting relief quickly can make a world of difference!
