No, I would have developed a considerable medical bill and it is unlikely you find 5HT3 blockade medication outside of chemotherapy treatment, because of its extreme expense of manufacture because of its low volume use and supply and demand.
If Kytril really stopped viral/bacterial induced vomiting and it was used widely, I suppose it would go down from $25 a pill, or who knows what by IV drip.
But for the common garden variety upset stomach, there is a slight silver lining if you believe some research into ginger, it is in fact a weak 5HT3 blockade agent. I use it exactly for that purpose. Because most of your serotonin of course is in your gut.
