While using this drug, I am still nauseated and vomiting. I was currently taking promethazine but my Doctor switched me to ondansetron. I am waiting for a call back from my Doctor to switch me back.

Was taking the round pill and had some of the ones that dissolve in your mouth, both worked well. Just got a new refill and now it's oval in shape and does NOT work as well. It is probably an insurance perference. I am fed up with people who are capable of using a computer and filing claims taking charge of my health care. I hope they like the bills when I end up in er and hosp. stay because they are allowed to be doctors. It's time we all stood up to these people and demand the best available care in aspects of our health care needs.
