Zofran: My Valentine Zofran is VERY effective for severe nausea. The only downside is the cost, its expensive.
I get so nauseated that I cannot move or talk. Zofran is the only medicine that works. Best of all, I had no side effects with Zofran.
When I was in the hospital, the doctors were aware that I was allergic to Compazine. In the ER I was given Zofran in my IV.
When I was admitted to the hospital, I told the doctors several times that I could not tolerate Compazine. Then I started throwing up (later found Crohn's to be in my esphogus and I have gastroparesis). The doctor told me "You can take the Compazine or put up with the symptoms. It's up to you to decide what is worse."
I could not move, I could not talk, even breathing was causing me to heave. So I took the Compazine--never again! I started loosing all feeling in my body. I got disorientated. I felt like I was floating, and had no control of myself. This lasted for at least 8 hours until the drug wore off.
Then the doctors put me on Phenegran--yuck! I took half a tablet and was so tired, that I slept for 12 hours. I could not keep my eyes open!
I only would trust Zofran. I am not messing with any other medicine. Zofran works and is worth every penny.
Zofran Zofran 8 Mg. tablets 3 X daily for Nausea...my dose was..I have been on this medicine three times now for non stop throwing up, both at the emergency room with food poisioning/and IBD dealings...where I could not stop throwing up due to food not agreeing with me I guess...Zofran was what worked to finally stop my non stop throwing up and dry heaves...highly recommend this drug over Phenergan any day. Phenergan just makes me hyper and restless cannot take it anymore. I did get a headachey deal when I startee this medicine at first. I have been on two doses the lesser dose of 4 mg. is avail in a softer type tablet that easily dissolves in your mouth the higher 8 mg. dose is in a tablet you have to swallow. The emerg. room dr. is also able to inject you with this in your body, not fun but when your throwing up non stop and having major stomach pain well worth the injection pain! Best wishes to all and hope this helps someone!
Zofran worked well with no side effects for excessive vomiting during pregancy. The generic form did not work as well.
Zofran was also used 5 years later for nausea caused by strong antibiotics. It had no side effects, like those associated with phenergan, which can make patients lethargic.
Zofran takes away my nausea really well, but it gives me such unbearable constipation. I try not to use it due to that, yet I need it to make it through the work day.
Zofran became my best friend with my last pregnancy! I used the orally disintegrating tablet, it was so easy & worked fast. In my two pregnancies before this last one I used phenergan & it made me want to sleep all the time, but I continued to take it because I would rather put up with the tiredness than the vomitting. Although w/ the majority of pregnancies, nausea & vomitting ends after the 1st trimester, mine didn't! With all three of my pregnancies I was severely ill through out the entire nine months of each one. When my OB gave me Zofran with my last pregnancy I wanted to kiss her...LOL! It was such a god-send. I could actually function on a normal level without having to run the the restroom to vomit numerous times as day. I will admit the taste of it is pretty nasty but I just learned to hold my breath for those few seconds it took to melt & swallowed it down with some water, & that was it. I think the key to getting it to work the fastest in pregnancy so you don't vomit is to keep it next to your bed with a glass of water & take it as soon as you wake up in the morning. That worked the best for me, I would take it before I even got out of the bed because I knew, if I didn't, as soon as I would stand up I would have to make a run for the restroom to vomit.
Works very well.
with my first child I was miserable my entire 1st trimester. Now with my second child, the nausea was just as bad. Once I began using Zofran (1/2 tablet) the nausea stopped completely. HOORAY.
Why didn't I ask for something to ease this horrible nausea ealier?!?!??? I took one immediately upon leaving the pharmacy and within 5 minutes I felt better. I haven't had any side effects and I can now get off the couch and take care of my other kids.
This medicine has worked really well for me. I am 10 weeks pregnant and have had severe morning sickness since about week 6. I tried taking Reglan and Phenergan at first. Neither worked. After being hospitalized for dehydration around 8 weeks, my doctor gave me Zofran. I still feel a bit nauseaus at times, but nothing like I was. I can actually eat some things and drink. This drug has worked very well!
This medication was very effective at ceasing my nausea due to pregnancy. And, this medication has recently been made generic! So, it is definitely affordable to anyone now.
This drug works when given prior to the start of vomiting, to prevent vomiting. Does not have very good results given post vomiting.
This drug workeed great for my excessive vomiting in pregnancy. I totally agree that you must have insurance to get this. I do not have prescription coverage and 20 pills cost $263.00. Totally worth it!!
