Avatar f tn I read that Juice Plus is a great supplement during pregnancy and may help with the constipation. Anyone out there tried Juice Plus?
Avatar f tn No drug is 100% safe in pregnancy but ondansetron (trade name Zofran) is fairly safe. It does cause constipation. I would take it if I had severe morning sickness.

Avatar f tn I hate the zofran! Omg its a miracle worker for the nausea but the constipation is the worst. Raisin bran crunch worked for me. That and activia yogurt!
Avatar f tn Is zofran safe to rake during pregnancy? I've read some stories and some say it's not and can cause heart defects is this true?
Avatar f tn I haven't heard of any risks and my doctor is pretty straight forward!
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 I was 150 before pregnancy got down to 123..Zofran worked great I just took something for constipation and then I was fine...without it I was miserable..I'm now 36 weeks and I weigh 148 baby is over 5 pounds.. don't scare this mom with that non sense about that lawsuit.. I believe God takes care of his people and that's that..
Avatar f tn m a little weary of taking it. Has anyone taken zofran during pregnancy, what are your thoughts?
Avatar f tn I had to use it twice because i was on Zofran in the beginning of my pregnancy
Avatar n tn Hey I just watched a commercial saying zofran can cause a clef pallet.
9979816 tn?1407622045 Zofran is known for causing constipation. There are lots of things that you can try to help combat it. Colace is a stool softener that is used a lot in pregnancy and is safe to consume. Also increasing your general fluid intake, esp water. Adding some prune juice daily will help too. Cranberry juice does nothing for constipatiin- apple juice can be effective however.
Avatar f tn If the doc won't give you nausea meds then vitamin B can help with nausea... I'm on zofran, my OB said it's safe, he's experienced as an OB, however; I've seen on this forum that other types of nausea meds are safer in pregnancy than zofran..also here comes tmi...I have had bad constipation from the zofran but it's a good trade to be able to eat and drink on the zofran.
Avatar f tn I also take Zofran. It's the only thing that has helped me keep food down. Love it but it does make you constipated.
Avatar f tn Zofran.. The pills didn't work for me with my first pregnancy. So this time I asked for something different.
Avatar f tn Good morning, I took zofran and the only side effect I had was constipation. So drink lots of water and eating good fiber is important! I hope they hwlpb you how ever vomiting was so draining!
Avatar f tn I'm on t3s for pain and it's taking awayy back pain a little but giving me ab pain because of constipation. Now I'm laying in bed with both back pain and ab pain :( do u have to get colace prescribed?
12103503 tn?1423448886 Is it safe to take zofran during pregnancy. My doctor perscibed it to me for nausea. But then i got freaked out about a commercial i saw in tv about zofran causing birth defects.
Avatar f tn I was exactly the same zofran help my nausea but made constipation bad miralax worked for me not right away but I finally had bowel movement.
Avatar f tn zofran is safe :). there are 2 nausea medicines that are considered safe for pregnancy, and zofran sounds like the better choice for you (since phenergan makes you sleepy, and that's the other option, i think it would freak you out!). every medicine is going to carry warnings, and there will be people who SWEAR that this medicine caused this or that...but that's the internet for you. it is considered safe, and your OB only prescribed it because they felt it was safe....
Avatar f tn I loved it. I didn't suffer from constipation but I drank gallons of water.
Avatar f tn Sorry...tmi. My Zofran and prenatals are giving me bad constipation. Any tips to relieve it???
Avatar f tn Ok so I've had terrible nausea I'm guessing its from the progesterone shots I've been recieving. I can't keep anything down so I let my doc know, she prescribed something that really hasn't worked and I've notice I'm getting a tad constipated. I absolutely hate the feeling of constipation:((( Can any of you ladies recommend something safe please? The girls at the office told me miralax but I can't remember 100%.
Avatar f tn what is safe to take at this point in pregnancy?
Avatar f tn / However, it seems the typical stopping point indicated by my ob is between 12 and 16 weeks. If zofran is causing constipation and is all that helps, I'd ask your doctor or midwife about Miralax (which isn't quite as strong as an actual laxative when taken occasionally in proper doses) or something to help.
10426661 tn?1410354439 The only issue with using Zofran is that it causes constipation, which is already a problem for most of us. So just increase your water intake and maybe add prune juice if you notice constipation starting.
