It seems like a pretty standard drug for people with sensitive stomachs. Are there some sort of long-term side effects that it can cause if taken often?
Thanks.
Why is Ondansetron a prescription drug and not available over the counter?

The insurance companies would love it, its an expensive drug and if it was otc they wouldn't pay for it. It has a list of side effects as long as your arm, and it isn't appropriate for all types of nausea. It certainly isn't an innocuous med that anyone should just take without dr input.
