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 n tn is it ok to give 7-8 lb chihuahua 4 mg dissolving tablet for nausea/vomiting (keeps vomiting her water every time she drinks), otherwise she seems to be feeling ok, just having trouble keeping it down 2day, @ 15 mins after she drinks just vomits w/o notice (no hacking like they usually do when they vomit) just comes out seemingly uncontrollably. We already gave her Pepto & she vomited that as well.
Avatar f tn I too have nausea and what helped me was taking 4mg of Zofran along with the Lorazapam just before bedtime. Zofran is an anti nausea and anti vomiting med. Ask your doctor for some to help you with the nausea. Lorazapam helps some, but when nausea is really bad, take Zofran.
Avatar f tn Any suggestions on nausea relief? I was prescribed Zofran but I prefer not to take it. Any home remedies you can recommend?
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 Yip! Sounds just like me.
1711722 tn?1356487554 I was prescribed 4 mg of zofran to take every 6 hours as needed, however that low dosage wasn't working for me so I asked to double up on it to two 4mg pills and I do them an hour before my RBA. I'm not even on Vic yet so I was thinking if it gets worst with Vic I'll change up to Phenergan as some people have said that it (nausea) may get worst after the start of the PI.
Avatar f tn Ondansetron (Zofran®) 8mg-16mg (They come in 4, 8 and 16mg tabs. You might need 16-32mg. Granisetron (Kytril®) 1mg tabs Aprepitant (Emend®) is new, and is used to prevent (not treat) nausea. Studies show it to be very effective especially when used in combination with the two drugs above and decadron (dexamethasone).. Palonosetron (Aloxi®) this is fairly new and only available IV, but it is the ONLY long-acting drug on the market—good for up to 5 days after administration.
Avatar n tn I take both zofran and phenergan ..I was getting the zofran at first but my insurance only pays for 12 and I can get 50 of the other if you wake up in the middle of the night take one it works best that way ...I'm 27 w and still have bad morning sickness some days are better then others ...
1084115 tn?1385228589 I used ginger candy during tx, but have used zofran in the past for extreme nausea. The zofran worked very well. I used it when I was nauseous rather then before I might be nauseous. These ginger candies weren't as extreme as the crystalized ginger and worked well for the nausea I experienced during tx. http://www.gingerpeople.com/ginger-chews/original-ginger-chews-3.
Avatar f tn They both work pretty good for me..the zofran does work a little better for me though but it makes me so constipated (tmi) and the promethazine will make you so sleepy! I still need both occasionally :/ 32 weeks today!
Avatar f tn s side affects were that it made you drowsy so then it became a sleep aid. Anyway, it was the only thing that worked for me and took the nausea away so I could eat, I definitely recommend it! Hope you feel better Mama!
Avatar m tn I think it is worth it. What have you tried so far? Many people with mild nausea get a lot of help from ginger (tea, candied, or capsules), and keeping your fluid intake very high is helpful too. If the nausea is severe those measures probably won't do it and you should try prescription meds. Most of us have had very good results from Zofran, though there are occasional people who get nothing but a headache from it. For me, Zofran is nothing short of a miracle.
Avatar f tn She can recommend a few medicines. She will probably start with zofran which didnt work with my first pregnancy ... but is a life saver right now in my 2nd trimester. I had hyperemesis so my situation was pretty extreme but see what she says. If you can try some of the natural things first I would do that. Honestly no matter what we say everyone's body reacts differently. None of the natural stuff worked for me. Not even gingerale. But it may for you. Good.luck.
Avatar f tn I have been on reglan for awhile now and I love it. I tried zofran and it didn't work for me, it just made me constipated. Reglan is perfectly safe to take. I haven't had any side effects.
Avatar f tn Yeah be careful with the zofran it constipatedme really bad
Avatar m tn I have been using phenergan/promethazine it's an antihistamine for nausea and itching, it made me sleepy until I got used to it. It works well for me on the nausea and I guess the itching as well as I haven't had to much of a problem with that yet.
Avatar f tn I took zofran from the time I was 2 months pregnant until birth for severe morning sickness . My son was born with no hand . I dont know if theres a coneection .
Avatar f tn Zofran worked wonders for me!
10197070 tn?1409269893 I'm DESPERATE for nausea remedies. I was given medication but I don't feel comfortable taking it. HELP PLEASE!
Avatar f tn it was really bad to the point where I had to keep plastic bags in my car incase I had to throw up. I asked my doctor for Zofran and its helped so much! Natural remedies like drinking sprite or ginger ale, eating crackers, pretzels and things like that never helped me but idk how it works for u. If it doesn't I would get Zofran from ur doctor. Goodluck and congrats on your baby!
Avatar f tn I tried to take the pills but I was way to sick for that! So I have been on the Zofran pump (pumps Zofran into my stomach 24 hours a day) for the last 3 months. It's been "Heaven sent" for me! I lost 28 pounds in my first trimester and was unable to eat or drink anything for 11 weeks! Now because of the pump, I can eat anything and have gained 3 of those pounds back!
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor for zofran. It was a LIFE SAVER for me! I was only sick for a few weeks because I asked for zofran. After that, never got sick again. It works like a charm! But everybody is different.. some people don't get sick at all, others a few times, & some are sick the whole 40 weeks. Just depends on you girlie. Definitely ask for zofran. Best advice I can give ya. (: good luck!
Avatar n tn I will be going to the doctor soon so I will definitely ask for Zofran.
