Brief Answer:
Dose of Zofran may be increased.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Half a tablet may not be sufficient for you. Make it one tablet to be taken 1 hour before the infusion. If vomiting persists it would be better to check kidney and liver functions.

Best wishes,
