Cheap and effective: Barr Pharmaceuticals said U.S. regulators have granted tentative approval to the company's quickly-dissolving generic form of GlaxoSmithKline's Zofran antinausea tablet.
Barr (BRL) said it cannot begin selling its approved 4 milligram and 8 milligram tablets, however, until Glaxo's marketing exclusivity on the product expires. Glaxo's patent on the product lapses on June 24, 2006, Barr said in a release.
The drug is approved to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and some radiotherapies and post-operative nausea and vomiting. The quickly dissolving tablet form of the medicine had sales of about $167 million last year, Barr said.

I recall people talking about this drug as an add on for depression. Did it ever work? River.

Yes, I've used Zofran in conjunction with Phenergan. The Zofran is pretty powerful, and it's especially good at helping with nausea caused by drugs. I believe they give it to chemo patients and stuff. Why do you ask, if you don't mind my asking?

I participated in a study at NIMH about 10 years where they tested Zofran (generic name: ondansetron) as a treatment for Social Anxiety. It had no effect for me which was the overall conclusion of the research study.
