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.
I was put on 50 mg of zoloft a month ago and have had nausea ever since. It seems like it's been getting worse over the last couple of weeks. Yesterday I was prescribed Ondansetron ODT 4mg. It doesn't seem to help. Will the nausea go away?
I'm 32 weeks right now and I have been taking ondansetron to help with the nausea... And it helps out!!
Experiencing low grade fever & periodic nausea. Doctor prescribed Ondansetron 4mg for nausea. I am not vomiting. No other symptoms except difficulty concentrating & remembering.
My mother bought me preggie pops they are like suckers but there are only a few kind that I like go to your pharmasists and ask for them. Also I tske ondansetron orslly distegrating tablets! Just make sure you half the pill and let is dissolve in your mouth and it don't have a bad taste. But when you get almost half way through your ninth week it does not work for me I just ran out And I feel like I'm dying..
Ondansetron has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies failed to reveal evidence of fetal damage. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Case reports have described two women who have received ondansetron during pregnancy for life-threatening hyperemesis gravidarum. No abnormalities were noted in the offspring of these two women. Ondansetron is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
ask your doctor about ondansetron. it was the only thing that actually helped me with the nausea and vomiting. as far as your husband thinking your dying every time you barf... there's no cure for that. he will think that for the next few months and then every time you say "ouch!" he will think you're going into labor. at least that's my experience. i hope you feel better soon but it's probably going to take a while.
Hi am in my 13th week and is having bad nausea my doctor gave me this Ondansetron tables which helped a lot but am concerned about taking it. Any suggestions on should I take this medicine as it help me to work??
It depends somewhat on what is causing your nausea and how severe it is. The promethazine Dee mentions is effective but can also be quite sedating for some people. I couldn't stay awake if my life depended on it when I took that drug. Ginger is very safe and can be very helpful for mild nausea, but didn't even touch my severe nausea. The miracle drug for me was ondansetron, commonly given to chemotherapy patients.
And yes Nexium as Pepela suggested is also in the PPI class
Any other mommys been prescribed promethazine for nausea/vomiting?
what are some of the best medicines to take for nausea / morning sickness , what actually works
I am 12 weeks and have terrible morning sickness and nausea. the wafers are all that works. i am having trouble getting a script larger than four wafer or tablets. its really started to drive me mental. i am having to go to the doctor every four days just so i am able to function for work. any suggestions on how to get around this problem??
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?
Ondansetron is Zofran hun. Its just the generic name for zofran. Even though theres a lawsuit, id say its more of a money maker. I took it both pregnancies and my babies came out fine. Youve got to look at whether the benefits outweigh the risk with ANY medication. If youre miserable and need to eat for baby, take it. My advice is try to only take it when u really need it, not on a regular basis. Stop as soon as symptoms ease up. Lots of water too.
So I have hyperemesis and I have to keep nausea medicine in my system so I have to take 4mgs of dissolvable zofran every 4 hours. It so difficult because I have a son and the meds make me so extremely tired. Ive never felt so tired before.
I agree, get some Zofran/Ondansetron. It works wonders. This is why they give to cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery patients. It is in a class of medications called 5-HT3 receptor antagonists and works by blocking the action of serotonin, a natural substance that may cause nausea and vomiting. I just got a bottle of 30 Ondansetron on Medicare for $5.
There are also other similar meds you can take so you should find a solution and not have to deal with what you have been.
Anti nausea medicine, ondansetron it's prescription but it's the only east I can deal with food
Talk to your doctor about a medication called zofran (generic is called ondansetron). I'm 14 weeks with my first baby and have had constant nausea and vomiting. I was prescribed this med and it works wonders.
