Zofran is an anti-nausea medication widely used in chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as after major surgery. It helps block the effects of serotonin, a chemical in the body that plays a major role in stimulating the vomiting center in the brain. Zofran is given in the form of tablets or injections, depending on the patient's condition. Its effect begins within a short time and lasts for several hours, providing significant relief from nausea.
Zofran is considered safe in most cases, but some side effects may appear, such as headache, constipation, and fatigue. In rare cases, it may affect the heart rhythm. Therefore, regular medical follow-up is recommended, especially with continuous use.
