Avatar f tn I took zofran from the time I was 2 months pregnant until birth for severe morning sickness . My son was born with no hand . I dont know if theres a coneection .
Avatar f tn My friend took it with her pregnancies and delivered healthy babies,but i know there are massive lawsuits against zofran. I would say consult with your Dr and approach with caution.
Avatar f tn I took the generic zofran with my first and had to with this baby. Nothing wrong with my babies. I feel like there is a risk with every medicine. If you look up side effects to anything there is always somethi g.But sometimes you don't have a choice. I was puking non stop. Until 20 weeks. Side effects are very minimale to very few people.
Avatar f tn I have taken it for almost my entire pregnancy three times....my babies were fine. I would have died if I didn't have it.
Avatar f tn Any moms been prescribed Zofran for nausea?? Did baby come out with any problems? I have been seeing a lot of bad commercials about this and birth defects....
Avatar f tn Just thought i should share cuz apparently some women who have taken zofran while pregnant had babies with cleft lips or paletes http://www.nationalinjuryhelp.
Avatar f tn Ladies dont take zofran!! The medicine used for morning sickness. There was a recall. It doubles the risk of birth defects when used in the first trimester. I'm not a dr/nurse or in the medical field of any sort... i saw it on tv and Googled the recall is all.

Avatar f tn I am 14 weeks pregnant and my morning sickness has suddenly increased very bad I called thr dr today and the nurse gave me a prescription for zofran so far it's helped me and it says there are no side effects to me and my baby but some thing I was reading online says about causing cleft palates has anyone else taken this and is your baby perfectly fine?
Avatar f tn I have extremely nauseated daily for the past 2 weeks. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I went to the Dr last week and my Dr prescribed Zofran. The problem is everytime I take this medicine, I see the commercial on TV that talks about Zofran causing some birth defects. Is anyone else taking this medicine or have heard these birth defects. Thanks!
11529448 tn?1419052525 I hate zofran, it doesn't work for me but it may for others but yes I agree don't lbeleive everything on tv.
Avatar f tn I am 25 weeks along with my 5th. I have been sick from day 1 nausea vomiting the works. I also suffer from severe headaches due to intracranial hypertension. Well I stopped taking my medication for the IIH because there was no telling if it would cause birth defects. I also held out on taking meds for the nausea until about 3 weeks ago. I had the rx for Zofran but wasn't taking them, I took the meds for about 5 days out of the 3 weeks.
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'm 23 weeks and cannot go without mine (zofran) for more than a day.. I talked to more than 1 Dr. And they both said it is harmless.. Like another blancaboo said they would not give it to us if they thought it to be harmful.
Avatar f tn I had it so bad that I ended up taking zofran, but I only took it on the days it was soooo b ad. Ginger ale and anything with salt see mean to help.
Avatar f tn You do relize in 2012 the same pharmaceutical company for the same drug was fined 3 billion for giving it under the counter For other things that were NOT fda approved! But that was ok because that pharmaceutical company made 12 billion on that drug that year so just a small price to pay for big business! You do relize they used me and everyone one else as ginnie pigs why they sat back and collected!
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 Dmpnonna, I weighed 120 before pregnancy. Minus 40 pounds. I got down to 79 pounds. I went into preterm labor bc my body just simply could not support the weight of my baby. At 22 weeks my baby would not have survived. I was told by so many doctors "you have your baby now, he WILL die" zofran saved his life. If it wasn't for zofran I would weigh 107 now and I wouldn't still be carrying our sweet little boy at 30 weeks. Sometimes drugs are necessary.
Avatar f tn Be careful with zofran. I've seen t.v. commercials recently for lawsuits in regards to taking it for nausea and baby having birth defects. That seems scary, but I can only imagine how your feeling. Hang in there. Its really nice being able to talk to other pregnant woman. This is my bf's first and he is like clueless. Keep in touch.
Avatar f tn I took Zofran for about 3 weeks. No signs of disability or heart defects.
Avatar f tn I tried to get my do for to write ms zofran but she refused until u was 12 weeks to ensure the baby was a little maturer but by time I hit the end of 7 weeks my nausea was gone. I did try these things called sea band mama! Their ginger tablets and they helped some but I only found them at a CVS.
