Recommend the ondansetron ODT that is often co-prescribed. Counsel on proper ondansetron dosing (30 min prior to dose increase and every 4–6 hours after as needed).

Constipation – very common on this drug. Increase fiber and water intake. Also consider an OTC stool softener or Miralax if constipation persists.
