Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
While there are no interactions between Zofran and alcohol in the 2 databases I looked at, there is the issue of why Zofran was given today. If you are having stomach upset that caused the nausea, you might want to stay away from alcohol has the potential to also be irritating on the stomach.
The half life of Zofran woman ranges from 2-6 hrs, which means that half of the dose continues to be in your system for that long.
You might want to skip the alcohol until tomorrow, or just have 1 drink if there is no gastritis, GERD, or peptic ulcer disease.
I hope this information helps.
