Ondansetrone was developed and first marketed by GlaxoSmithKline as Zofran. It is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used mainly as an antiemetic (to treat nausea and vomiting), often following chemotherapy. Its effects are thought to be on both peripheral and central nerves. Ondansetron reduces the activity of the vagus nerve, which deactivates the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata, and also blocks serotonin receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone.

I'm a  big fan of ginger products. Some people here love the ginger chews, some use ginger tea or even chew on ginger root. I put chopped ginger in my oatmeal.
Gingerale works too.
And then there's medicinal cannabis~ it works  for nausea too.

It's great that Zofran is working for you.

And I know exactly what you mean by night and day. I felt like a completely different person after getting Zofran on board.

I also agree with you: Do not suffer. Ask for a prescription if you need one.
