• Higher compliance compared with Zofran® tablets - swallowing is easy and water is not required.
• Higher compliance compared with Zofran® syrup - fluid intake not necessary, no strawberry taste in the mouth, improved dosing accuracy, and shorter handling times.
• Higher compliance compared with Zofran® OroDispersible tablets/orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) - easier to handle and store.
• The absence of aspartame in the formulation makes the product suitable for phenylketonuric patients, for whom the use of ondansetron Zofran® ODT is contraindicated.
