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.
I have terrible morning sickness and I was given a prescription for ondansetron 4mg which is the generic version of zofran. I'm scared to take it because of the possible side effects and the warnings I've seen on TV. I don't want to take any risks when it comes to my baby. Any thoughts on this?
I was prescribed Promethazine (generic for Phenergan) & it helped me a lot.. the only downside, at least for me, was it made me extremely sleepy!
Ondansetron is Zofran hun. Its just the generic name for zofran. Even though theres a lawsuit, id say its more of a money maker. I took it both pregnancies and my babies came out fine. Youve got to look at whether the benefits outweigh the risk with ANY medication. If youre miserable and need to eat for baby, take it. My advice is try to only take it when u really need it, not on a regular basis. Stop as soon as symptoms ease up. Lots of water too.
Felt great until day 6, then started vomiting and having bad anxiety(the only way i could describe it was like having my stomach in my throat) but the vomiting came quickly and couldnt stop and lasted a couple days until my doctor prescribed zofran and subutex thinking maybe I couldnt take an ingredient in the suboxone (generic). Well again did great with new med now on day 6 same thing is happening starting to throw up and having bad anxiety....
I'm experiencing extreme nausea am vomiting... I am 7 weeks...my doctor prescribed me zofran...I am scared to take it because I've seen a commercial about it..I took half a tab today. And I threw that up.
I took the generic form of Zofran so I'm not sure if that actually makes a difference. But I took it with my first child and he is perfectly healthy. I wouldn't worry until you actually have to.
When a drug patent runs out, a (usually much) less-expensive generic drug comes onto the market, which is chemically and medically equivalent to the brand-name drug. If he's saying what I think he's saying, I'd like to know what the difference here could possibly be. How could the the equivalent be different?...and if its different, how could it be equivalent?
If not, what does the other answer mean?

I went to the er and got ondansetron (generic for zofran) but the doc prescribed it bc I literally kept nothing but one icee a day down. I got a script for 12 and thats it. All I know is they do not prescribe it to one indivodual in large quantities and that bc it can affect and stay in your blood for so long they have to monitor how much an individual gets.
Mine never went away i had it my whole pregnancy. My insurance also wouldn't cover it. I was on the generic zofran n was still paying over $200 a month from rite aid for it. I couldn't survive with out it or o ended in the hospital with fluids in me. It broke me monthly as far as cash but it was a life saver. But i have heard that it doesn't always help everyone. I also was on phenegrin but it din work just made me super sleepy but couldn't sleep cuz i was so sick.
What is the generic name, chemical name, classification and contraindications for Lyvoxil?
m almost 23 weeks and I had the usual vomiting in the first tri but from 14-16 weeks I was fine. But ever since 17 weeks until now my vomiting is getting worst. I take zofran when I feel nauseous but I still throw up. What else can I do. I usually throw up when I wake up from naps. Or after my breakfast.
I was prescribed Ondansetron (generic Zofran) by the hospital for hyperemesis from 6 weeks until 17 weeks after being admitted multiple times due to dehydration and starvation. I still felt ill after stopping but I was able to cope with it better. I asked my consultant the same question and she said no medication can be described as safe in pregnancy as no pregnant women will submit their pregnant bodies to a medical study (understandably!).

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. has announced the launch of the generic equivalent to Baraclude (entecavir) tablets, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg, in the U.S. Teva was the first to file, making the product eligible for 180 days of marketing exclusivity.
t do it and you should try prescription meds. Most of us have had very good results from Zofran, though there are occasional people who get nothing but a headache from it. For me, Zofran is nothing short of a miracle. I can't take most anti-nausea meds – most of them only slightly reduce the nausea but very effectively render me nearly unconscious. Zofran comes in either 4mg or 8mg, and comes either as a pill you swallow or as one you dissolve on your tongue.
