Zofran Dissolvable vs Swallowable

Hi Ladies! My OB called in a refill of Zofran for me today. This time around he prescribed the dissolvable ones instead of the ones you swallow. Is there a difference in effectiveness? For those of you who have used both types, did you have a preference of one over the other?

    The ODT tablets go to your blood stream immediately is what my OB told me. Also you take it without water, I had a hard time even drinking water to swallow the pill. I am taking the ODT and its working better than the regular pill.

    Thanks ladies! These comments make me feel a lot better about switching to the ODT type.

    Dissolvable all the way! Also, my doctor told me that it's safe to take up to like, 32 mg or something RIDICULOUS every 4 hours. Obviously not to do that, but if I needed to take more than what he prescribed, to do it because I needed to keep things down. 12 mg seems to work well for me, but the last few days i've done well with 8!

    I use the odt as well. I like that I can use it whenever and without water. I get sick in the car now and rarely have something to drink so that's helpful. Also, water made me sick. Half the time I was vomiting the pill. So glad my doctor switched me!
