ondansetron for motion sickness

Can Ondansetron HCL be used for my 5 month old Lab. puppies, car related motion sicknes?

Ondansetron is the generic for Zofran. Why would you refuse it? It's safe to take or your Dr wouldn't prescribe it to you. There's other meds out there if you don't want to take it. My Dr gave me Diclegis. It helped take the edge off the nausea.

Try dramimine.

I have horrible motion sickness and pretty bad morning sickness. If I lay still while a fan is on me im fine otherwise I feel miserable. Haven't even been to work because every time I move I gag or puke. I have tried peppermint and ginger ale neither helps much. Any ideas on how to stop this so I can work?

Zofran reduces the activity of the vagus nerve, which activates the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata, and also blocks serotonin receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone. It has little effect on vomiting caused by motion sickness, and does not have any effect on dopamine receptors or muscarinic receptors. A 2006 double-blind, randomized controlled trial indicated that ondansetron may have value in the treatment of schizophrenia, as an adjunct to haloperidol.

Yes if your gonna go the medication route then I recommend zofran. It works so good!

To me morning sickness...or all day sickness...feels to me like motion sickness or a hangover. Even if I throw up, I still feel just as horrible. Other things help, but not throwing up. Glad a walk and zofran helped, good to know! I'm not sure we are ever over the hard stuff! Always new challenges!

That is the generic name for zofran.

ve had bad morning sickness or in my case all day sickness for the past 5 weeks Ive gotten so dehydrated from it and had an ivy fluid since I wasn't producing ketones ..and lost 5-6 lbs in a week I couldn't even keep water down ..

It is too bad that Zofran quit working for you, Hector. I know it does not always work for all people. It is possible that the intravenous Zofran works well for you but the oral does not. I really hope you can find something that works for you because being nauseated is so miserable, and spinning is even worse. I have also found that I dare not go too long without food, even when I feel nauseated, and even when taking Zofran, because it makes me more nauseated to be without food for very long.

Sure thing! Also try sea bands, ginger snaps, and I'm not supposed to have salt, but found a lime salt that saves my car rides! My doctor even prescribed Ondansetron (Zofran) for me. I've even tried essential oils, but most have such an overwhelming scent it triggers even more sickness!

Has anyone taken this for nausea? Its generic for zofran which has some medical lawsuits due to it causing clef pallet and heart defects in babies. I was given one at the hospital yesterday after my ob sent me bc of a pain in my side and really bad vomiting. And now I have a prescription for it. The side effects list is soo long. It says to talk to your doctor to see if the benefits out weigh the risks. Now I don't even want to take it. :( I'm not sure what to do.

I just found out I'm pregnant a few days ago. My morning sickness is really all day, all night sickness. Any suggestions on foods or anything?

I found out that i am not having motion sickness i had the stomach virus. It was the worst one I have ever had! I thought I had developed a infection. Good thing is as of yesterday it has went away!

I had major motion sickness especially in a moving vehicle when I was 19weeks! Lol it was terrible, I would get so mad at BD for every little turn he made Lol.. it does go away and I was so happy when it did, I would avoid leaving the house unless I absolutely HAD to go somewhere, I just hybernated myself Lol.

Can motion sickness be associated with morning sickness, or is it just from my stomach being more sensitive?

my life saver in the car), but be careful, salt makes you retain water. My doctor even prescribed Ondansetron (Zofran) for me. Helps once you start throwing up! Good luck, different things work for different people!

what are some of the best medicines to take for nausea / morning sickness , what actually works

I just recently took a long plane trip(6 hours time difference) and since returning I have had debilitating motion sickness plus horrible anxiety. I am on day 6 of this. Could this be hormones? I am 51 years old and haven't had a period in 7 months. I don't know what to do. I can not function because I am quite dizzy and feel sick to my stomach. I am considering making an appt with a neurologist. Help!

Hello! This is me and my husband's first pregnancy/baby :-) I am 8.5 weeks and the morning sickness is so bad I can't anything! I go from bed to couch back to bed... I work full time and have had to call out several times so far... MD gave me some anti nausea pills they kind of work but mostly put me to sleep...any suggestions?

I was prescribed ondansetron by the hospital for hyperemesis from 6 weeks until 17 weeks after being admitted multiple times due to dehydration and starvation. I tried two others first but they did nothing. I could not keep anything down, even my own spit had my dry retching and I lost 15% of my healthy bodyweight. I still felt ill after stopping at 17 weeks but I was able to cope with it better as it had subsided a good bit.

Its normal not everyone pregnancy is the same. And all pregnancies are different. I was sick 7 days a week for 8 months with my first born. With my second child i had morning sickness a total of 4 timez. With this pregnancy I've been sick twice and ive just hit 12wks today. Be happy u don't have morning sickness it really *****!! Lol.
