Brief Answer:
It is the right medicine to be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

Yes, zofran is the correct medicine for that symptom and for your case. It doesn't need adjustment of the dose in people with impairment of kidney function and age.
The dose for you to take is 8mg twice daily.

Of course, I would suggest that you discuss this with your physician that knows your health much better so he can confirm it too.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
