zofran how often do you take it ?

Ive just been prescribed zofran 4mg. It says to take one tablet four times a day but its $60 for a box of 10 and only have one repeat script.  I think she wants me to only take it when I need it and stick to maxalon. How often do you need to take it ? hope it works because maxalon has stopped working at week 9

Oh and mine is a generic "ondansetron" that might be cheaper.

I take it in the morning, before I get out of bed. I have the desolving kind. I relax for a bit before I start moving. I usually only have to take it the one time.

Firstly see if you can get it in 8mgs and cut in half its way cheaper. And I take mine once a day at night because that's when my sickness is worse. Sometimes I take it twice a day but very rare only due to cost

You take it 30 min before eating and let it dissolve on your tongue. The effects can last anywhere from 3-9 hours. When are you sickest? I would take it shortly before that time. There are generics that might be cheaper as well.
