Common Questions and Answers about Zofran vs reglan

zofran

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.
1419259 tn?1303438666 I was never given reglan. I took Phenergan and Zofran, though the zofran never did much for me. If you're still getting sick frequently you might need to go to the hospital to make sure you're not getting dehydrated.
Avatar f tn Most doctors won't give reglan to pregnant women zofran is safer I would talk to your doctor about this
8518086 tn?1407289593 I have hypermesis gravidarum and the ONLY way I can keep things down is by using oth Zofran and reglan. Get to the hospital though, don't wait until morning.
Avatar f tn Talk to Ur doctor about nausea meds. They usually give zofran. So far I've taken zofran, reglan and phenergan. Phenergan makes You tired, So I've been taking That recently Because I'm 24 weeks, still puking and getting nauseous and I'm in pain from The position The baby Sometimes lays in. So It helps to relieve The nausea and helps me sleep too. But zofran works really good For nausea and doesn't make You sleepy.
Avatar f tn Any of you ladies have experience with a reglan or zofran pump? A nurse will be at my home shortly to hook me up to a reglan pump because of my hyperemesis. I hope this prevents any further hospital trips (3 in 2 weeks) for fluids and Iv nausea meds but I'm not too keen on the idea of having something constantly pumping medicine into me. I know that I need my nutrients and it's not good for the baby with all of this vomiting but how good could constant medication be either?
1828249 tn?1320012338 Was on reglan didnt work at all, switched to zofran and i feel great, accept when i first wake up. 25 weeks pregnant, some get lucky and have no sickness some for a few weeks some whole pregnancy. Ask your dr about reglan if it doesn't work ask about zofran, try a superfood diet. Specially designed for pregnant women, you could not be getting enough iron. Superfoods help with sickness and a healthy pregnancy!
Avatar f tn m very sick with this pregnancy and my doctor tried to give me everything but zofran like reglan, diclegis, phenergen, etc and none of the worked so they put me back on zofran which helps only a little bit.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Zofran and Reglan since week 7 and am now 23 weeks... The risk associated with dehydration and malnutrition due to HG is far greater than the potential side effects of Zofran and Reglan. My little guy is perfectly healthy up to this point. To each their own though.
1641397 tn?1302626061 I have severe hypermesis with all of my pregnancies. With my first I was only 17, they admitted me to the hospital for re-hydration and gave me phenergan in my IV. I had NO idea that I was allergic to it. I had a severe dystonic reaction to it. I was seizing so bad my entire body was jumping off the bed. I was alone and my grandma walked in and saw it. She thought I was dying. I was completely alert to what was going on but my jaw was locked and I couldn't talk or call for help.
Avatar f tn I had hyperemesis an I took reglan and zofran daily until 20 weeks, an just cut down to zofran. It never took it all away, but it helped considerably. Dont worry about weight gain at this point. I only gained 10q pounds my pregnancy, an it was due to swelling. I didn't gain it til the last few weeks. Lexi's perfectly fine an healthy despite being so sick an my reglan an zofran use.
7753764 tn?1401853590 I have hypermesis gravidarum too. I've been on bed rest since 8 weeks from it, I'm 38 weeks now. Ask the doctor about reglan. The Zofran alone didn't do enough so after a few stays in the hospital the doctor decided to give me both, I was around 15 weeks I believe. Zofran and reglan together work great for me! I still throw up about once a day but sometimes I can go the entire day not throwing up. I've been able to GAIN about 15 lbs.
Avatar f tn You should ask your doctor about zofran. It worked miracles for me and I had severe all day/night sickness for the first 5 months. He tried me on phenergan with my first pregnancy but I didn't like it cuz of the way it made me feel. All it did was put me to sleep, then when I woke up I just felt drunk and groggy and was still sick as a dog. I loved zofran though, I wouldn't have been able to eat at all or even drink if I hadn't of had it.
7722569 tn?1409707842 you could ask your doctor for zofran or reglan they seemed to help me I had hyperemisis pregnancy I'm not sure if that's how you sspell it but it was awful I was in and out of the hospital and those two pills were the only thing that helped me :/ hope your morning sickness gets better!
Avatar f tn I'm actually feeling a lot better and now stop taking zofran. Yes it constipated me so bad. However, if you haven't tried reglan you should ask your doc about it. Reglan helps with n/v plus it enhanced gastric emptying so that's a plus if you feel like foods you eat just sitting in your stomach and not digesting or moving along.
Avatar f tn I have been on all three meds and was just about to go on the zofran pump when one day I wanted to see if maybe it was too much meds at once.. i stopped my meds and was great for 3 days then bad for 4.. so I started back on 4mg of zofran and have only been throwing up once a day at the most.. my midwife was a bit upset I just quit my meds but she said I know my body and if it's working then play with the meds.. this is my 4th pregnancy and my other 3 I was never sick.
Avatar f tn which pretty much does the same thing as Reglan. Although I am 38 weeks and have taken Zofran non stop for 32 of those weeks, it was Heaven sent! Zofran was the only thing that helped me live through this pregnancy...SERIOUSLY!
Avatar f tn I'm experiencing extreme nausea am vomiting... I am 7 weeks...my doctor prescribed me zofran...I am scared to take it because I've seen a commercial about it..I took half a tab today. And I threw that up.
Avatar f tn I agree with whisper. Call your doc and see if the can get you some zofran it works for most people. If it doesn't they have other options ie phenegran and reglan.
8475475 tn?1403476630 I understand your pain! At 6 weeks I was diagnosed with Hypermesis (HG). I could not keep anything down including water (which is not the best for severe nausea and vomiting so don't drink a lot). On my worse day I vomited 14 hours non-stop. When I was 1st diagnosed I vomited for 33 hours. I had severely dehydration, low sodium, low potassium, extremely low blood pressure and my body was starving. I was in the ER weekly for meds and IV fluid.
Avatar f tn It won't hurt your baby, there are reports about some nausea medication that can sometimes cause minor birth defects but they're EXTREMELY rare cases so I wouldn't worry. I had awful morning sickness for 7 months or so and I took zofran, some other medication (forgot the name sorry) when that stopped working, and during labor they gave me the reglan so I wouldn't vomit after every contraction and my daughter is perfectly healthy.
9156053 tn?1406059654 Since I've been losing weight the doctor gave me zofran & reglan.
Avatar f tn Okay I think imma go to the emergency room
Avatar f tn I was so bad, I was throwing up the Zofran pills. So, now I have a Zofran pump that pumps the medicine into my stomach 24 hours a day. Although it can be a pain changing the sites (sticking myself with the needle) every other day and changing the medicine syringes every 12 hours. I agree that it has made a drastic difference!
Avatar f tn I take zofran , and reglan because one medication isn't enough . I take 8mg zofran , 10 mg reglan . Ask for the dissolve tablets . If this continues into your 2nd trimester , and gets worse like mine , you should ask your doctor about a PICC line . I have one in for IV fluids , IV vitamins , and IV zofran . It's the only thing that helps me anymore .
Avatar f tn I'm taking zofran and Reglan and I cannot take my prenatal pills. I've also tried the ginger and that definitely did not work just the smell of it makes me vomit. I'm really out of suggestions.
Avatar f tn I lived with ice water by my bed at night. Taking prescribed Zofran (anti-emetic) and Reglan for the acidosis (neutralized the acid) - the throwing up constantly was wearing away the lining of my esophagus. Before my throat healed over a day or two, EVERYTHING hurt to eat. Then I'd throw up. With the meds, I could at least get a lil food down and keep it there.
Avatar f tn With an elevated prolactin level what type of nausea meds can one take. If Reglan is out of the picture can i take Tigan, Zofran, Antivert etc. I am eating next to nothing and have lost over 10% of my body weight due to this. Thank you for your input. My level is 165. Also would this elevation be causing nausea?
