Zofran dosage for pregnant women

Common Questions and Answers about Zofran dosage for pregnant women

zofran

All I can do is share my experience with this. When I first got pregnant with this baby I was on iv. fluids, iv. zofran, iv phenergan, pergocet, lortab, serioquel, xanax, celexa, protonix, domperidone, and a few others I can't remember right now. The big problems for me that I was addicted to was the pergocet, lortab, serioquel, and xanax. High, high doeses. I took three xanax bars day and that was just that one medication. I knew I had to stop.

I am taking Zofran (1/2 dosage) for pretty bad m/s - and I read somewhere that Zofran can cause constipation - don't know if this is true or not. In any case, can anyone recommend something that will work on an ongoing basis? I tried milk of magnesia - and that did work for one BM the next day - but unless I take it every day - the problem just returns....and I don't want to take that every day. I've also been taking stool softeners - not helping.

4000 mg a day is not safe for pregnant women that's like taking 8 extra strength tylenols in a day. That's not even safe if your not pregnant I think the max in a day is 4 if not. My doctor told me not more than 500 mg a day. I would check with your doctor because the sleep aid in tylenol pm may not be safe while pregnant. I would try benadryl instead.

This is her second pregnancy with two previous miscarriages. Dr. has her on progesterone (not sure of the dosage). She is extremely nauseated (no vomiting) and almost immobilized with sickness to the point that she has to have help in during the day to take care of her child. Dr wants her to stay on progesterone through first trimester. Initially told her that the med is not causing this but now says it is a possibility. She has not gotten a second opinion.

*** Bendectin Making a Comeback Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is the most common condition in pregnancy and affects up to 80 percent of all pregnant women. Prior to its withdrawal in 1983 the morning sickness drug Bendectin was widely used throughout the world to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Its original three active ingredients were doxylamine succinate (an antihistamine), dicyclomine (an antispasmodic), and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Bendectin was first marketed in the U.S.

Medical Marijuana have been used to treat chemo patients for nausea and vomiting...and they say these meds are like chemo this does work and you will want to eat too.

I took it during my 2nd and 3rd trimester and Jazmine is perfectly fine. It is routinely prescribed for pregnant women who suffer from panic attacks, insomnia, or allergies. It is also used during the labor process if a women needs help relaxing a little. I took it on an as-needed basis.

I'm taking zofran as well. It seemed to work pretty good the first few weeks and now it does nothing. I have found that biscuits seem to help me. No butter or anything on them. I'm 10wks 2 days now. I was very sick with my son as well and the only thing that helped then was the motion sickness bracelets. My dr at the time wouldn't give me any kinds of meds so that was my only relief :/ but it worked and it was better than nothing.

Also eating small meals throughout the day (5-6) instead of larger meals, for some reason pregnant women can't hold down lots of food haha. If you're doing both of these things already I'd ask your OB, they can give you suckers that will help stop the nausea, or medicine if it's bad enough. If you go too long with morning sickness/day sickness it can cause a slow weight gain or dehydration so I'd definitely get it taken care of!

What kind of meds did they give you in the ER? Did they tell you med(s) and dosage? Were they aware that you are pregnant? From the American Pregnancy .org website, here is an excerpt about doing a kick count: "Generally, moms find their babies are most active after eating a meal or something sweet, drinking something very cold, or after physical activity. You may also find your baby to be more active between 9:00 pm and 1:00 am, as your blood sugar level is declining.

If you are still sick try to see about getting a prescription for Phenegren and one for Zofran. Phenegren is for at night and the Zofran is for during the day. Since the Ph has a sleeping aid in it. If you don't want a precription the Unisom at night and the B-6 during the day. The combination of these two should help.

but i would hate to even chance it) Despite studies showing ginger's aid for pregnancy nausea, the German Commission E has recommended that pregnant women not use ginger. Some studies indicate that high amounts of ginger might cause miscarriages. Researchers cannot follow up their suspicions with human clinical trials because of the danger posed to unborn fetuses. Dosages over 6 g could cause gastric problems and possibly ulcers. Ginger may slow down blood clotting time.

He was disappointed there isn't a patch with a lesser dose and suggested I cut it in half. I asked him for Zofran instead and said I'd work it out with Meclizine and Zofran as mentioned above. Its been 48 hrs. since I took the patch off and the Zofran helped the nausea but the vertigo seems to come and go. I'm praying I don't get another full blown case of it but I will not cut the patch nor use one again.

Also, ask your doctor about Zofran, an anti-nausea drug desgined for chemothreapy patients often used for hep-c induced nausea. Meanwhile, you should probably eliminate any gastro irritants and reflux triggers such as coffee, chocolate, citrus fruits/juices and tomatoe sauce. Raising your the head of your bed 12" at night and wearing loose fitting clothing -- especially around the waist -- might also help. I had a big problem with nausea early on but it disappeared later in treatment.

Right now, liquids make me soooo nauseous! I guess I need up my zofran dosage again. My urine, BP, weight checked out just fine. Baby Girl heartbeat sounded great and she is moving like crazy. She did an internal check to make sure. All is high and firm...... good news!

Before you use any benzo, make sure you're aware of how often it can be safely taken. Different benzos have different dosing schedules. Taper your Valium dosage down after each day. The goal is to get through day 4, after which the worst WD symptoms will subside. You shouldn't need the Valium after day 4 or 5. During detox, hit the hot bath or Jacuzzi as often as you need to for muscle aches. Don't underestimate the effectiveness of hot soaks.

It's been clinically proven to help pregnant women w/morning sickness. And as far as I can tell, it doesn't have any side effects/dangers, and can be combined with whatever else you're taking. I know how miserable nausea is, so I hope this suggestion is of help.

ahh this is really scaring me.. i am on paxil right now and have been on it for a few months.. what was your dosage? what were you given as you were being weaned off??? i hope you are doing ok!!

I didn't even bother talking to her about it because I am so used to people not understanding why a woman who is in pain needs to take medication for it when pregnant. As if the pain goes away when one becomes pregnant or someone should just suffer through it when they have done research and made a decision to take meds based on solid facts. Anyway. I went off on a tangent, there, but I am definetly prepared for the worst and hoping for the best.

good luck! Magda - 30+ FOLLIES!!!!!!!! OMG what dosage were you on?! I've just been upped to double dosage (see above) so hopefully others might start developing and growing like they should! But 30??!!!! Anyway, I'm glad you and DH have got some quality time coming up - so you can relax and enjoy (rather than host!) the dinner parties. And how fabulous that your sister's visiting you too! Jen - looks like we're going to be going for our IUIs at about the same time...
