zofran

Avatar f tn I keep seeing this ad on tv about zofran causing birth defects and other serious problems. Im freaking out because i was prescribed zofran in my first trimester!!!!! Any one else seen this ad and or taking zofran?!
Avatar f tn Zofran? That is a pretty strong med. I have heard of it being used in dogs going through Chemo but I would not use that without consulting a Vet first. Have you tried Dramamine or Ginger? What breed and size dog is this? How old? You could try a ginger capsule in something like lunch meat, cheese or pill pocket. I have had success using Ginger Snap cookies about 30 mins before leaving and take some along with me.
Avatar f tn ve taken it before and am currently taking it and have 3 healthy children and my best friend has taken it too and her children are fine as well.
Avatar f tn So it was either zofran or starve. Thank goodness for zofran in my case. Also all medication has risk. Even benadryl which is called safe during pregnancy is rumored to cause cleft lip. I've taken it to. A lot of people have. Its pick and choose in this world when It comes to things like this.
Avatar f tn Zofran for pregnant women has been available for almost 20 years if it was as bad as they say we wouldn't have just been hearing about ambulance chasing lawsuits. I had severe morning sickness with my daughter to the point I couldn't keeps down spoons of water eve for my entire pregnancy I was on it so me and baby didn't die. This time around u was o. It until I was 22 weeks along. My children are perfect.
564735 tn?1263943526 What I believe really helped her out with the nausea that the cisplatin caused was an anti-nausea drug called amend. That in combination with the zofran controlled her nausea very well.
1468090 tn?1289093410 with pain meds, they usually give promethazine, which is what i take. so in answer to your question, no. i have not taken zofran to the best of my knoweldge.
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 Sometimes drugs are necessary. I am so thankful for zofran bc I get the chance to have my baby boy. In my case vomiting almost 20 times a day couldve killed my baby, or couldve killed me bc of dehydration and severe weight loss. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to vomit every day and still be considered healthy...
Avatar f tn The FDA has issued an updated warning against Ondansetran, better known by its brand name, Zofran, use in pregnancy discussed in OBGYN News. Zofran is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist approved by the FDA for preventing nausea and vomiting related to cancer chemotherapy and surgery. It has been used off-label to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.
1711722 tn?1356487554 My instructions are every 8 hours *as needed* but I have only been taking them once a day, after lunch, because my 3pm meds seem to cause the worst nausea. How do you take Zofran in relation to other meds? An hour before? An hour after? Only when you feel sick? What has worked best for you?? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Zofran and Phenergan are a class C. I was given Diclegis. It works amazing. And I occasionally take ginger root.
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 ...
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 f tn Zofran does not make you sleepy. Phenergan does. Phenergan is cheaper, but Zofran works better (in my opinion). It is used to treat the nausea from Chemo. Plus, as youi said, if you vomit enough doses, it may affect treatment outcome. Hope you get relief soon.
Avatar n tn can a dog aprox 60-70lbs take Zofran for motion or car sickness. for extended 8hr car ride.
Avatar f tn My brothers girlfriend was on zofran most her pregnancy and my niece was and is fine. My oldest sister was on zofran with both her children and my niece was born not breathing and my nephew had to have a blockage removed from his heart a month after being born. So I personally don't want to take any chances. Good luck whichever u choose.
Avatar n tn The reason is that in a small amount of cases it has caused swelling of the brain. If you look at the label on cough syrup for children, even those typically recommend for age 6 and up (at least the brands I have seen.) When my 2 1/2 year old has a cold with a cough I give him milk slightly warmed with honey in it. I have also given him a teaspoon of honey on it's own. It works extremely well.
Avatar n tn t keep anything down as far as food. After reading a few post in this group. I hav heard about people using Zofran and there babies coming out with defects or women having miscarriages....
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?
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 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.
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 Hmm I did have a look online so many ppl who have take it in there pergancy have had baby/children with heart defect doctors should give you heads up before handing it over like it is safe to take
454366 tn?1211245301 Please read the info on www.jonbarron.org on Bi-Polar disorder in children. The info is kinda scary; but I think you might help with finding other avenues to take. Peace be with you and keep the faith. Our kids are our future. Let's not just dope them up because we are told to. Let's not dope ourselves up either.
Avatar f tn As of yesterday (14 weeks pregnant) they added Pepcid to relieve the acid in my stomach because my throat was burning and as of today they increased my Zofran dosage and put me back on Reglan. So, it can be difficult to keep the nausea under control!
