Will Zofran ODT 8mg tabs still work if I swallowed it with soda instead of letti!
Question: Will Zofran ODT 8mg tabs still work if I swallowed it with soda instead of letting it disolve in my mouth?
The doc gave me Zofran for my queasy feeling with the flu or gastritis bug I'm suffering with. It's a dissolving tablet, and the taste is awful. I took just took one but instead of letting it dissolve I swallowed it whole with some soda. Will it still work for me on preventing vomiting, or will it work less, or not at all since I didn't let it dissolve on my tongue and swallow it with my salvia?
Answers:
Absolutely it will still work. It is a dissolvable tabletto make it easier to take. THe drug itself does not change if it is swallowed whole or if it dissolves first. Some people believe that it has to dissolve so it can be absorbed through the skin in the mouth- that is not true. Even if it dissolves it still has to be swallowed. It is an orally disintegrating tablet- not a sublingual tablet.
