Common Questions and Answers about Zofran during pregnancy

zofran

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I would highly recommend Zofran. It is used for nausea and it works WONDERS! They have other drugs likes Phenergan and Compozine, but the side effects are long and AWFUL (I know because I have taken both). I just looked at the med fact on Zofran and while it doesn't say much about breastfeeding while taking Zofran, there aren't any known problems with taking it during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn is zofran safe to take during pregnancy... im 9 weeks and 4 days and the nasuea has been so bad i cant keep anythinf down at all...
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 Doctor is going to start me on vitamin b6 that helped me during my second pregnancy now on bby #3 hopefully it helps since I to have lost weight.u should adk your doctor if it would help u to. Just as a second choice.
Avatar f tn t really taken it though just because by the time i feel sick its to late and i did see one of those terrible commercials on it lately so it kinda worried me but during my first pregnancy it was a life saver
Avatar f tn There are lawsuits pending against the pharmaceutical company because it was never approved for use during pregnancy
Avatar f tn I had severe nausea during all four of my pregnancies and was only prescribed Zofran during my last pregnancy. My daughter was born with spina bifida and fused toes on one foot and several ear and skin tags. I was only taking prenatal vitamins and Zofran during this pregnancy. My daughter had to undergo spinal surgery at six months of age. She fortunately does not suffer the terrible heart defects some of the other unfortunate children did.
Avatar f tn There is no recall on zofran. It is safe to take during pregnancy. I took it for 7 weeks this pregnancy and no defects with this baby. Don't believe everything you hear on tv or online.
Avatar f tn So I've been seeing all this negative stuff about zofran causing all kinds of birth defects to unborn babies. I'm 30 weeks pregnant & I've been taking zofran my entire pregnancy, so it's worrying me. Has anyone else taken zofran? What are your opinions on it?
Avatar f tn I never used it during pregnancy but thy did give me a high dosage of it during labor it worked so good.
Avatar f tn m a little weary of taking it. Has anyone taken zofran during pregnancy, what are your thoughts?
Avatar n tn I lost 12lbs in 1 month during the first trimester. I got zofran which is a miracle drug which really helped A LOT. Morning sickness for me started to taper off around 15weeks. Once I was about 18 it was virtually gone with some minor breakthrough nausea. I started gaining weight like crazy so ur body will catch up.
Avatar f tn Any already moms used ZOFRAN during their pregnancy and baby came out perfectly fine? i started zofran a four weeks ago and i must admit i feel guilty for taking the pills but i was prescribed the pills vecause i couldnt hold anything down. i tried eveything and nothing helped. Zofran has been helping so much! i am able to keep foods down. still get horrible nausea but at least im able to eat. i tried to stop taking them but i threw up the whole entired day.
Avatar f tn The risks of defects associated with Zofran occur before 12 weeks of pregnancy. I had to take it for a few weeks during that period before my morning sickness went away. They check for defects and everything at your 20 week scan. It seems like she prescribed it because the risk of you running into a health issue due to your weight loss is higher than a birth defect caused by Zofran.
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 Yes zofran is great. Took in beginning of pregnancy and now again towards the end..
Avatar f tn I'm on it to..Round two of it. I'm thinking everything's going to be fine. They say benadryl might (might) cause it also which is safe during pregnancy and I've also taken that. But it could also happen for no reason at all. So I try not to worry. You have to eat. Believe me I take it and even then I still get sick but it's better then not taking it at all.
Avatar f tn I just seen a commercial saying zofran is bad during pregnacy and they have a law suit against them i use mezline for vomitting
11529448 tn?1419052525 I've been taking it my whole pregnancy because I have hyperemesis gravidarum. I'm now almost 35 weeks now & when I started seeing those commercials I was freaking out! I know women thattook this during ttheir pregnancy & their babies are perfectly fine. I don't think a Dr would prescribe it if it was harmful.
Avatar f tn I know a lot of women who have taken it during pregnancy and have had healthy babies including myself. Both my ob and my primary told me it was safe to take during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn These risks include the Serotonin Syndrome which is a triad of cognitive or behavioral changes including confusion, agitation, autonomic instability, and neuromuscular changes. Therefore Zofran should not be taken during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Just saw a class action suit on tv against Zofran during pregnancy saying of your baby is or was born with a heart defect or birth defect to call them..I was prescriped yesterday for this medicine and took one today. Has anyone else taken them?
Avatar f tn t take it I have post nasal drip which drains into my stomach and makes me nauseous. Has anyone taken this before during pregnancy and had a healthy baby? And if you didn't take loratadine but have allergies (mine is to my cats, dust mites and we don't allow the cats in our bedroom) what did you do to manage ur allergysymtoms while pregnant? thanks.
Avatar f tn I've also been taking zofran with my pregnancy. I seen the ads as well. I just plan on talking to my doctor. I've had similar conversations with my doctor about medications (prednisone, albuterol, duoneb) and he had just felt the benefit outweighed the risk.
Avatar f tn Thank you ladies just wanted make sure I'm doing the right thing by taking it.
