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 have 4mg. Last pregnancy I had 8mg and it would,hit me,faster like 5 mins.
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.
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.
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!).
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.
Hi again:) wondering what you take for morning sickness? I have taken OTC b6/unisom didn't help. Now on zofran but my good ins plan ends sat. Zofran without insurance using generic name, I can't think of it now but it costs 311.00 dollars without ins. You ladies know of an rx that is cheaper without good insurance since I will have to pay out of pocket. Thx for your time.
Try to get on zofran, it feels like it saved my life. Seriously lol. And the generic brand is what I'd suggest cuz its cheaper. And don't get your prescription filled at walgreens or the like. My zofran rx at walgreens was $155! At Costco for the same exact thing it was $28! But I didn't have health insurance so that made a difference.
Been taking my zofran... Can't stop vomitting up everything I eat ... Already been diagnosed with hyperemesis garnivudum. What else do i do?
I had to be on zofran all my pregnacy.
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.
I still felt ill after stopping at 17 weeks but I was able to cope with it better as it had subsided a good bit. Ondansetron is the generic version of Zofran and I asked my consultant the same question as to whether it was safe and I looked at numerous medical journals. Both she and the journals said no medication can be described as safe in pregnancy as no pregnant women will submit their pregnant bodies to a medical study (understandably!).
Hey, I noticed your comment & my OB/Gyn put me on Zofran as well but after I saw on the TV that it could & has caused birth defects I stopped taking it right then & there & called my OB/Gyn & told her about this. I had the exact same concern because I had been taking zofran for the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy & I'm now 29 weeks. She said there was really nothing to worry about, I hope she was right.. She then prescribed me something else.

The vomitting has subsided slighty since there is nothing left to come up, but the nausea is relentless. Is it safe to take the
