Zofran^® (ondansetron hydrochloride) is a prescription medication that is used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiation treatment, and surgery. The dose you are prescribed will depend on several factors, including your age, the medical condition being treated, and other medications you may be taking.

As with any medication, side effects are possible with Zofran, such as headaches, fatigue, and constipation. It works by blocking serotonin, a chemical produced by the body that is associated with nausea and vomiting. The drug is designed to only prevent nausea and vomiting -- not to treat them once they begin.
