Yes same here i was getting really bad headaches and my o.b. recommended drinking either coffee or pop to help ease them, it really helped alot.
I can confirm with PP that Zofran causes major constipation. I have been put on more medication for that lovely side effect. However the Zofran helped me keep down water and before that I was hospitalised a few times for starvation/dehydration so for me the side effect was worth it. I lost over a stone in 3 weeks before getting the zofran and while I've lost more since that's because I've no real love of food and the nausea sometimes makes a recurrence.
How about promethazine is that safe?
Constipation; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; headache; irritation, redness, pain, or burning at the site of injection; tiredness."
The site goes on to explain severe side effects but, generally speaking, most people do not get the severe side effects from drugs (any drugs).
Hi there,
Ondansetron is used for treating vomiting. Constipation, dizziness and headache are the most commonly reported side effects associated with its use. These symptoms will ware off once you have stopped using the medication. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. I hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
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.
I contacted my doc today due to dizziness and blurred vision. Diagnosed with dehydration today due to not being able to hold food down...a shot of zolfran, water, Gatorade and rest...and I feel much better. There's help out there for you, ask for it.
I was recently sent to the ER by my ob for rehydration since I wasn't able to keep ANYTHING down for the past week. I was prescribed zofran but it honestly doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm 9wks. My prev pregnancy I had bad nausea but not nearly this bad vomitting. Anyone experiencing the same???
For me to get a ginger ale and take zofran. I got the ginger ale and refused to get zofran due to the commercials of the health recalls about it giving baby's cleft lip and pallet. The ginger ale didn't help. I've tried to eat crackers and drink the broth from chicken soup, that didn't work either. I'm trying to understand and I crazy or does that not seem normal and has this happened to anyone else and what was their outcome.
Am 10 weeks. And YES. I still have the nausea, the fatigue, the dizziness, constipation, my breasts are so tender. Uuughhh... with my first it only a month but am almost three months and I've been experiencing these symptoms since week 1. This just means our baby's are developing just fine and we couldn't be anymore pregnant than what we are.
Where are the pains exactly? I'm having intense stomach pains from the top of my naval to the top of my stomach and they are refrerring it to GERD (Acid Reflux Disease). I'd go see your GI and see if they can do an upper endoscopy on you. I'm going in on the 3rd to for one to see if I have GERD or a peptic ulcer. Drink a lot of water and a very bland diet (toast with peanut butter).
