zofran

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 I've been doing a lot of searching on the web about this drug and now I'm scared to death to take this drug!! My doctor keeps saying to take it if I'm sick/throwing up still and I've seen on other forums women who say they took it and there baby was fine but then on other websites u see all these lawsuits women have filled bc of the side affects and u see how its hasn't been approved for pregnant women!!!????
12380259 tn?1424964291 Diclegis didn't work for me. I had to take Zofran. I'm scared to take it too but that's the only thing that was working for me. I only take it if I absolutely need it. I've had complications staying hydrated and eating anything so I'm hoping it gets better.
Avatar f tn s mainly for nausea for cancer patients, not pregnant women. It was advised back in 2013 or earlier this year that pregnant women shouldn't take it. I figured better safe than sorry so I chose not to take after the two times. not much research has been done on it and I didn't want to risk it with my baby.
Avatar f tn I asked my consultant the same question and she said no medication can be described as safe in pregnancy as no pregnant women will submit their pregnant bodies to a medical study (understandably!). I am now 34+5 and my little girl is very healthy and while I've lost a lot of weight in this prehnancy she is measuring large for GA, so very like my first. I know that I would have had major issues without issue at as I couldn't keep water or food down, not even my own spit.
Avatar f tn I personally have known multiple women who took zofran while pregnant and their babies are perfectly healthy. Chances are your baby will be perfectly healthy as well.
Avatar f tn My doc said the same. But I can definitely understand as women we'd rather be safe than sorry. It seems we have so much to worry about trying to stay healthy for our babies! Such blessings!
10874336 tn?1415760929 in pregnancy as no pregnant women wants to put herself forward for testing but zofran has been used on millions of women with severe HG with very little effects. I am in UK and unfortunately our options for HG treatment is more limited than in Canada/US. Also the person who commented on the increase of cleft palates after being treated with zofran, studies have showed an increase in cleft palates in women who have taken zofran AND women who took none but had HG.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am 6 weeks pregnant almost 7 now and I have had the worse nausea of my life. Not much of throwing up just nausea. I was prescribed Zofran to help with that but I have found that a lot of women who have taken it have had their child born with deformities. Has anyone taken this medicine before???
Avatar f tn My doctor and I agreed that the benefits outweigh the risks. Zofran for pregnant women has been available for almost 20 years if it was as bad as they say we wouldn't have just been hearing about ambulance chasing lawsuits. I had severe morning sickness with my daughter to the point I couldn't keeps down spoons of water eve for my entire pregnancy I was on it so me and baby didn't die. This time around u was o. It until I was 22 weeks along. My children are perfect.
Avatar f tn m sure no one takes it for the heck of it. No pregnant women sign up for drug trials just for the sake of trials so some things are unknown risks. (There was a recent article about acetaminophen causing ADHD but most people wouldn't consider tylenol very risky.
Avatar f tn Just thought i should share cuz apparently some women who have taken zofran while pregnant had babies with cleft lips or paletes http://www.nationalinjuryhelp.
Avatar f tn I know about zofran i get an off brand of it and i dont take it often only had to use it 3 times
8367118 tn?1442605420 I was given some pills that were tiny white and had a pink pregnant women that was printed on them I just cannot remember what they were called
Avatar f tn I am 14 weeks pregnant and my morning sickness has suddenly increased very bad I called thr dr today and the nurse gave me a prescription for zofran so far it's helped me and it says there are no side effects to me and my baby but some thing I was reading online says about causing cleft palates has anyone else taken this and is your baby perfectly fine?
Avatar f tn You do relize in 2012 the same pharmaceutical company for the same drug was fined 3 billion for giving it under the counter For other things that were NOT fda approved! But that was ok because that pharmaceutical company made 12 billion on that drug that year so just a small price to pay for big business! You do relize they used me and everyone one else as ginnie pigs why they sat back and collected!
Avatar f tn I am type 2 diabetes before even got pregnant. My a1c is 6.5. I have hard time to decide what to eat for dinner now I order to not spike my number. Plus I am worry about the baby since it's will be the final destination or what I eat.
Avatar f tn t suppose to be used for pregnant women but for cancer patients. It was never meant to be consumed by a pregnant woman but the pharmaceutical company paid off a lot of doctors to give it to pregnant women. If you took it in the first trimester and your baby has holes in their heart or something else, please call your doctor or a lawyer!
Avatar f tn I also saw in the news this morning about a recall from zofran.
Avatar f tn Zofran was created to help with nausea in cancer patients but some docs have been prescribing it for use by pregnant women for the same reason and in some cases the fda found that it was linked to heart malformations and cleft palates in some pregnancies all the fda said was they wanted to warn woman just in case something happened and the law firms are trying to get woman who didn't know this and their babies were born with either defect if u have taken the drug with no adverse reactions th
Avatar f tn No abnormalities were noted in the offspring of these two women. Ondansetron is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Avatar f tn "Doctors prescribe Zofran (ondansetron) to pregnant women as a treatment for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Unfortunately, studies link the medication to birth defects, and families are taking drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline to court, saying it marketed the drug to pregnant women without FDA approval.
Avatar f tn I have some ondansetron 8mg for vomiting for me what would be the dosage for a dog that has terrible motion sickness in car
Avatar f tn Ok im sure all of us have heard by now about the risks of taking zofran while pregnant and how their is a large lawsuit being formed from women who took zofran and their child was born with cleft pallet or lip. I am now 27 weeks and 4 days. I remembered that when i got in a car accident back in November i was perscribed perkaset for pain, and ondansentron (zofran) for nausea from taking the perks. At that time i was either 12 or 13 weeks.
