Zofran is a brand name for the drug ondansetron, which is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. It belongs to a class of medications called serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, which work by blocking the action of a chemical called serotonin in the body that can trigger nausea and vomiting.
Zofran is commonly used in cancer patients (though is great for all kinds of nausea) who are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy, as these treatments can often cause nausea and vomiting as a side effect.
