Avatar f tn 2 days in and I have begun getting nausea so bad I end up vomiting. I am worried I am hurting my dosage of medication. I have Phenergan and I am not sure exactly when to take it, when I eat the 20 mg. of fat or right before the meds. Many help is appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have a Chihuahua and she weighs about 3-4 pounds. What dosage of Zofran should I give my sweetie Pie?? She became sick a few days ago, and we are on vacation away from our regular veterinarian. I am extremely worried about her. She is 10 months old and my husband bought her for me October 31, 2013 because I had a Chihuahua that would've turned 13 years old October 7, 2013 but she was killed by my neighbors dog.
190673 tn?1259203266 A lot of times this can be remedied by changing the dosing schedule, ie, breaking up a once daily dose into twice a day...or changing the time of administration. Generally speaking, these types of meds (like Effexor) improve with INCREASING dosages, not decreasing. Your dose is average....there is still some room to increase. Have you noticed a significant improvement in the past when increasing the dose? If so, you may want to discuss some changes with your doctor.
Avatar f tn I am taking zofran and it's perfectly safe and a class b drug. The ads on tv are just lawyers trying to get money for a case they can't prove. The birth defects they state are the most common among all babies born no matter a family history or not. Don't be afraid to take it if you need it. If you are that afraid though, look up the study of 600,000 pregnant women in denmark in 2013 that proved it was safe.
Avatar f tn s approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat patients going through radiation and/or chemotherapy, as well as post-operative patients who’ve had general anesthesia. Zofran has also been prescribed to treat pregnancy-related nausea (morning sickness), though ondansetron has never received FDA approval for this purpose.
Avatar f tn What's the dosage and brand?
Avatar f tn I started with 2mg Lorazapam and it worked right away . I had nausea right away as that was one of my first symptoms when I got sick. I took alot of ginger for the nausea at first and then I needed something stronger and that's when I took Zofran. The Zofran worked on my nausea right away also. If you take the two together at bedtime, the Lorazapam will help you sleep and the Zofran will help with the nausea.
Avatar f tn And I'm on zofran 3x a day but in am or after long nap it's to late and I get sick anyway.anyone know why ? Anyone know how to stop it?
Avatar f tn Now i am on Inderal or propranolol which is a beta blocker and only 80 mg and it helps the headaches without the side effects. Talk to your doctor and suggest it.
1711722 tn?1356487554 I was prescribed 4 mg of zofran to take every 6 hours as needed, however that low dosage wasn't working for me so I asked to double up on it to two 4mg pills and I do them an hour before my RBA. I'm not even on Vic yet so I was thinking if it gets worst with Vic I'll change up to Phenergan as some people have said that it (nausea) may get worst after the start of the PI.
Avatar f tn Dentist just say wait, but I can’t bear pain in my lower front 5 teeth’s, and dentist doesn’t care to do anything. I am on ibprufen 800 3 times a day, already completed antibiotic and steroid dosage for last 2 weeks, but no improvement. Still can’t open mouth much to eat proper food and feels pain 24 by 7. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn It has been used for dogs but that is a strong drug often given to Chemo patients. I am not qualified to give advice or dosage on that. It sounds like you should be giving your Vet a call if the dog has a vomiting problem and try to determine the cause.
Avatar n tn I take both zofran and phenergan ..I was getting the zofran at first but my insurance only pays for 12 and I can get 50 of the other if you wake up in the middle of the night take one it works best that way ...I'm 27 w and still have bad morning sickness some days are better then others ...
7510956 tn?1411671417 A male at 260 lbs takes the same dosage as a female at 120 lbs, I would think the female would have more in her system because of her size and have more sides and/or better results. Whats the science behind same dosage fits all?
Avatar n tn Its toxicity depends on the route of administration, duration, exposure and dosage. The route of administration is the most important determinant of toxicity. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn During my carbo/taxotere treatments I got Zofran and decadron IV, more decadron and Emend in pill form for three days, and Zofran in pill form for as long as I needed it. I still suffered lots and lots of nausea. Now during my carbo/gemzar treatments I get Aloxi and decadron IV, take Zofran (8 mg) and Promethazine (Phenergan) for four days after each tx. This combo seems to work for me.
Avatar f tn i take clonazepam and it reacts differently depending on how severe your anxiety is. if im super anxious at night i take .5mg and it keeps me covered in the night and il have to take another one in the morning. however if i take 2 .5mg at night (which sometimes i have becuase my anxiety was over the roof) i am usually good until midday the next day. so i think that 1.25 of clonazepam will keep you covered. it all depends on how anxious you are at that time.
Avatar f tn 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.
8475475 tn?1403476630 I was in the ER weekly for meds and IV fluid. After 3 hospitalizations and trying Zofran in pill form, they gave me a home care nurse. I was on IV's daily, a Zofran pump that pumps the meds into my stomach 24 hrs a day, Reglan (in pill form to help with the vomiting) and Pepcid for the acid reflex. Although I could not keep food down for 11 weeks and lost 28 pounds the Zofran pump helped. I'm 22 weeks as of today.
Avatar f tn Yip! Sounds just like me.
12380259 tn?1424964291 So I have heard about the Zofran issue and I have talked to my doctor and he talked to his consultant, I have talked to another doctor and a nurse and also researched on my own but I just read these comments on a fb post of all these women taking zofran and there babies had effects from it and I only have taken it if I felt I needed it once I got out of the hospital but now im freaking out reading all that!
Avatar f tn However, after prolonged administration, abrupt cessation of treatment may produce nausea, headache, and malaise. Gradual dosage reduction has been reported to produce, within two weeks, transient symptoms including irritability, restlessness, and dream and sleep disturbance. So, a gradual reduction is mandatory. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Methods Resveratrol (10 and 20 mg/kg/day) or its vehicle were administered to cirrhotic rats for two weeks and hepatic and systemic hemodynamics were measured. Moreover, we evaluated endothelial function by dose-relaxation curves to acetylcholine, hepatic NO bioavailability and TXA2 production.
