Can Ondansetron HCL Tablets Be Taken Through The Feeding Tube?
I have 8 mg tablets of Odansetrron HCL but cannot swallow anything now due to chemo and radiation treatments for throat cancer. I do have a feeding tube and have been using it to take dietary nutrients. Can I crush the Odanestron tablets, dissolve in water, and take via my feeding tube. Very sick to my stomach right now!

Hello,
Surely Ondansetron tablet can be taken through the feeding tube dissolved in water, take care not to feed through the tube for 30 minutes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Purva Patel
