Anzemet isn't exactly cheap either, it's $32 for a 100mg tab.

I have had extrememly good luck with accupuncture, even for severe hyperemesis. Of course, that is not cheap either, but I think it beats the price of Zofran by quite a bit!

Friend of a friend's wife was prescribed Zofran for hyperemesis -she's in her first trimester. It's prohibitively expensive and they can't afford it because they have a new insurance plan with a huge deductible. He said 24 pills is several hundred dollars that they don't have. Costco's cash price for 30 tabs is $1,256.44 !!!

Can you suggest something cheaper?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit.
