Common Questions and Answers about Zofran and nausea

zofran

Avatar f tn If that does not work, then you probably need a prescription for Zofran which blocks the nausea and vomiting (which is caused by the drugs). Many of us used Zofran. It works very well for most of us. I took 8 mg every 8 hours for a few months. Don't let this go. It will snowball. If the phenergan does not work, then ask for Zofran. Zofran does not make you sleepy. Phenergan does. Phenergan is cheaper, but Zofran works better (in my opinion). It is used to treat the nausea from Chemo.
Avatar f tn At 6 weeks I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG); which is chronic nausea, vomiting , dehydration and weight loss. I was on Zofran (every 4 hours) and Reglan (every 6 hours). It wasn't really working because I would throw it up! When I was 10 weeks the doctors put me on a 24 hour Zofran pump that automatically pumps the meds into my stomach. That has been working a lot better.
Avatar m tn Zofran comes in either 4mg or 8mg, and comes either as a pill you swallow or as one you dissolve on your tongue. I had really severe nausea with vomiting and was given the 4mg dose of Zofran in the dissolving form. Each time I took it the nausea and vomiting stopped completely within about 15 minutes, and in another 15 minutes I was actually feeling hungry and wanted to eat. The instructions said every 8 hours as needed, but I only rarely needed to take a second dose layer in the day.
564735 tn?1263943526 She is taking the following ani-nausea medicines zofran every 8 hours and taking promethazine every 4 hours. Does anyone have any suggestions to help with the nausea? Also if you are on or have had cisplatin , please let us know what your dosage is and how bad the nausea is? Her intial treatment was ( i think ) 160 mg and it is to be given every 28 days. her DR is planning on either doing a reduce dosgae every 2 weeks or 1 a week to help reduce side effects...
Avatar m tn For me it was a miracle drug – I was vomiting and 15 minutes later I had no nausea and actually felt a little hungry. Other anti-nausea drugs tend to cause some sedation (severe in me), but not this one. Be forewarned though, for a very small percentage of people the Zofran is not effective for nausea and instead causes a headache, but this is not very common.
Avatar f tn Me top and nothing works not crackers juice mints the zofran I'm sick as heck but soon it shall pass
Avatar f tn I am still getting sick on a daily basis, I'm prescribed phenergan but I still puke once daily which isn't a huge deal, but any suggestions as far as helping with nausea when I am out of my medication?
Avatar f tn We all sound like a bunch of drug addicts on here like "Yes! Yes! More Zofran! I need it" ... But its funny how much people who don't get morning sickness just don't get it. My insurance was being finicky about covering the Zofran so for like a week I stopped and I was so sick that I couldn't work and on Monday was in the ER. It really is a life saver especially if you are working or have other children to take care of and can't spend your days in bed.

8475475 tn?1403476630 I had bad nausea during my first trimester. And i was giving zofran and it made my nausea worse. I just ended up stop talking it and just suffered through the nausea. Eat crackers and drink plenty of water.
Avatar n tn So I'm pregnant with my first and my fiance and I are extremely excited! I haven't been to the doctor yet (will be going soon) and I was wondering if there is anything I can do/take to stop feeling so sick. I've been laying in bed drinking water and Gatorade like crazy and I feel weak when I try to walk to the kitchen for another drink. The only food I can keep down is crackers. I tried eating other things and it was a no go. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!!
Avatar f tn I'm 7 weeks having terrible nausea and throwing up how am I supposed to eat and get the right nutrition when I can't hold anything down ? I called my nurse to see if they can prescribe something because the tums and ginger is not working..does anyone have any insight on how to get through this in weeks to come ?
Avatar f tn ( because it hurt so bad. But the zofran Is for nausea. It is amazing! Tell them you have really really bad nausea so they give you a large quantity with refills too! Otherwise you might only get a handfull. But I needed it every morning as soon as I woke up.
Avatar f tn It took me a while before I could start eating close to normally again. I was in the exact same situation. The zofran will help your nausea and vomiting but I'm now almost 32 weeks and still get full pretty quickly, although I can eat more of a variety now. Just keep taking your prenatals and eat whatever you feel you can handle.
Avatar f tn Hi this is my 3rd pregnancy 2and for my first one I suffered 24/7. This time round I am using zofran 2 takes most of nausea away and stops most vomiting ( unless baby doesn't like what I have eaten. It's been a godsend as I need 2 be able to look after my other 2 kids as well.
Avatar f tn Yes, definitely ask your doctor fir zofran. I couldnt even hold water down and the doctor prescribed me zofran bc I waa getting dehydrated.
Avatar f tn i have zofran not helping 9 weeks tx
Avatar f tn Love zofran! Drs prescribed it for all three of my pregnancies and it's the only thing that helped me to do basic human functions.
Avatar f tn I am almost 36 weeks with my first baby and I took zofran and still do when I develop nausea. It really has helped me , but on the other hand everyone is different . I say just try it and if it doesn't work then tell your doctor and they will give you something different .(: Hope you feel better .
Avatar f tn ve heard of friends having it that bad...go get a nausea bracelet...one of my friends got it and she said it completely took the nausea away!
Avatar f tn I take Zofran and unisom at the same time. I have hyperemesis gravidarium and it work miracles! Let the zofran dissolve first and then take 1 unisom.
Avatar f tn What helps with nausea I have been so sick since I found out I was pregnant and now I can hardly eat.
Avatar f tn How many of you ladies are still taking zofran? My morning sickness is terrible. I'm 15 weeks and I throw up at least 5 times a day unless I take zofran and I've tried everything else and nothing works. But I know my doctor like personally and she assured me that it was safe and if it were her she would take it. I've lost about 30 pounds and only gained back 7 so she's worried about my weight. And I've lost it because of nausea. So how many Andre still taking it?
Avatar f tn I'm in the 11th week also and I had nausea and vomiting often . It got to the point where I had to go to the ER for fluids but I have been prescribed Zofran which works really well.
