zofran nausea and vomiting

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.

Yeah the Zofran "study" is total ********. It's only if you're getting the 32mg IV dosage on a regular basis that any problems can occur. Those on 4-8mg pills or IV doses are perfectly fine. You can take up to 32mg per day, just not all at the same time. I'm part of a group of 3000 moms, all of who have been on Zofran, and not one of them has had issues from the Zofran. I'm on it myself, along with Diclegis.

This prevents the nausea messages being sent from these areas to the vomiting centre. Ondansetron therefore prevents nausea, retching and vomiting that can otherwise occur following surgery or due to cancer treatments. What is it used for? Preventing and treating nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer Preventing and treating nausea and vomiting following surgery.

Hello i am experiencing nausea vomiting every morning after 2-5 mins from waking up i have been in this condition for 5-6 years and doctors keep giving me deanxit it helped stop but couldn't cure me whenever i stop the vomiting comes back i also have caughing problems after eating can i please get suggestions and help?

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.

I am currently 24 weeks and have been taking zofran for the past 16 weeks... It's helped me immensely.

It is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used mainly as an antiemetic (to treat nausea and vomiting), often following chemotherapy. Its effects are thought to be on both peripheral and central nerves. Ondansetron reduces the activity of the vagus nerve, which deactivates the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata, and also blocks serotonin receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone.

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.

I am the mother of four grown children, I had severe nausea, vomiting right up through my 7th month, I lost more than 20 lbs during my pregnancy and I had to work and function regardless of the nausea and vomiting. We did not have the convenience of "a pill" to take nausea away. We had to tough it out, vomit our guts up, and did it without putting our babies at risk.

( I'm nauseous an hungry at the same time. Smells are so sensitive to me now, things that never bothered me make me sick just off the smell .. If you haven't already ask your doctor to prescribe you something for it. Im taking zofran to help w/ my nausea an vomiting but that's not even working for me :( hopefully you'll have better luck!

Even losing one or two doses to vomiting could put you at more risk of viral mutation and breakthrough. The Zofran is a tiny tablet that you dissolve on your tongue every 8 hours as needed and it works very quickly and without sx in most people. 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.

They are all natural and are infused with natural oils that help with nausea, also with the prenatal vitamins I take half at night and the other in the am. Try the sniff test. Smell it first. If it smells funny it's not gonna work with your tummy. I did all of this and it worked wonders for me.

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.

Im 26 weeks and have been very lightheaded dizzy and nauseous and throwing up for almost 12 hours idk what to do :( im 26+1 anyone else have this? what did you do about it?

I have used peppermints and zofran which isnt really helping but drink a little sprite sips at a time and that may help. You may need tp talk to your dr.

You can call your doctor and ask for dissolvable nausea/vomiting tablets

Im barely in my first trimester , but I can't eat or drink nothing without throwing up . Any tips ? I havent really ate or drank nothing in 4 days . I went back to my doctor and they prescribed me some medication for the nausea and vomiting but that medication doesn't seem to help . This is my first time pregnant . Ive tried Gatorade , Ginger Ale , Fruit , and etc .

Or I would ask your obgyn for a prescription of zofran-its a lil strawberry tasting,dissolvable pill for nausea.. and also non harmful to the baby ..phenergan works too.. good luck!!

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.

From 5 weeks to current of 35/weeks I have vomitted every single day up to 6 times a day. Zofran wasn't even helping. I seriously can't function. At week 25 I was able to take a zofran at 5 am and feel almost normal all day. I still get up at 5 am every morning and take a zofran and I am fine. If I don't take it I'm vomiting. I think some of us are just not blessed as others. My mom or my sister never had any trouble in their pregnancies.

Glad I did cause it helped me so much and still is! =) I hope you ladies feel better soon and the nausea starts to ease up for you!

i have zofran not helping 9 weeks tx

I tried lemonade ginger tea ginger ale ice chips preggie pops nothing took away the nausea and vomiting but I learned if I did eat frequently then I would throw up bile and dry heave which drained the life out of me more than vomiting food. I hope it goes away soon for you.

I'm 25 weeks and still have nausea and vomiting.

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.

I also am on Zofran for nausea and vomiting. I take 8 mg every 8 hours, usually about an hour before I take my meds. You will need a prescription for it. With Zofran, do not wait until you get nauseated. Ondansetron works by blocking the 5HT3 receptors that are found in the brain and gut. This prevents the nausea messages being sent from these areas to the vomiting centre.

Worked awesome for the nausea and sickness... I then got constipated..
