Zofran
For the nausea that won't let a pill stay down. Settled in minutes, so you can eat, drink and get on with it.
One ingredient, 4 mg of Zofran, given as a quick injection in the arm or hip. Book it for a stomach bug, a rough morning after, motion sickness before a trip, or nausea in pregnancy with your OB's clearance on file. A nurse reviews your history first.
The nausea medicine hospitals use, straight into the muscle.
Zofran (ondansetron) quiets the signal between your gut and your brain that keeps sending everything back up. It's the medicine emergency rooms and oncology clinics reach for, and it doesn't make you drowsy.
The problem with the pill is obvious when you're sick: it has to stay down to work. Given into the muscle it skips the stomach entirely and reaches your blood in minutes.
One ingredient, one measured dose, listed here. Our nurse checks your history first.
What it does for you.
One ingredient, then how a booster gets it into you. Both are the whole story.
Ondansetron blocks serotonin receptors in the gut and in the part of the brain that triggers vomiting, which is why it works for nausea from a stomach bug, alcohol, motion, migraine and pregnancy alike. It doesn't sedate you, so you can drive and work. Given into the muscle, it bypasses a stomach that won't accept anything and starts working in about 15 to 30 minutes, holding for several hours, long enough to get fluids and food back in. Our nurse checks your history and medications first, since it can interact with a few.
A booster is a small injection into the muscle of your upper arm or hip. Swallowed, a nutrient has to get through your digestive system first, and only part of it reaches your blood. Given this way it skips the gut, so more of it reaches you. A nurse checks in with you, gives the injection, and you're on your way. Most people say it's easier than a flu vaccine. Add it to a drip and it happens during the same visit.

Book it alone and you're in and out in about five minutes. Or add it to any drip and it happens during the same visit. Members save 25%, and the Booster membership covers four a month.

Questions about the Zofran booster.
How long does a Zofran booster take?
About five minutes in the lounge, including the nurse's review. Most people feel the nausea settle within 15 to 30 minutes.
Can I walk in for a Zofran booster?
Yes, once you have been in before. New clients start with a free 10 minute intro so a nurse can review your health history. Your intro stays on file for three years, and after that you can walk in any time we're open. Too sick to come in? Our mobile nurse can bring a drip with Zofran to you.
How is Zofran different from the Stomach Bug drip?
Fluids. The drip is Zofran plus Benadryl and magnesium in a liter of fluids over 30 to 45 minutes, for when you're sick and dried out. The booster is Zofran alone in five minutes. If you've kept water down and just need the nausea gone, this is the one.
Will it make me drowsy?
No. Zofran doesn't sedate you, which is one reason hospitals prefer it. You can drive home and go back to work.
Can I get Zofran while pregnant?
Zofran is the medicine most OBs prescribe for severe morning sickness, and yes, with OB clearance on file. Bring it to your free intro or have your OB's office send it over. For the full formula with fluids and B6, see our Morning Sickness drip.
Can I add it to a drip?
Yes. Boosters are given during any drip visit, and Zofran is already in After Party, Stomach Bug, Migraine Relief and Morning Sickness.
Can my doctor see exactly what is in it?
Yes. Every ingredient and dose is listed on this page, so you can show it to your own doctor. You, or your doctor, can ask our nurse or doctor anything, any time. Just call us at (205) 210-9797.
