Common Questions and Answers about Zofran safe for pregnancy

zofran

Avatar f tn So, we just found out that I'm a few weeks pregnant and I have been getting incredibly nauseous when I eat. This is ky 3rd pregnancy and for the first 2 I had "morning sickness." But it's almost hard to eat knowing I'm just gonna get sick. :( this didn't happen last pregnancies. Also, I all of a sudden get these headaches/migraines. I've gotten some tylenol but are there any home remedies to get rid of headaches and migraines quickly?
Avatar f tn zofran is safe :). there are 2 nausea medicines that are considered safe for pregnancy, and zofran sounds like the better choice for you (since phenergan makes you sleepy, and that's the other option, i think it would freak you out!). every medicine is going to carry warnings, and there will be people who SWEAR that this medicine caused this or that...but that's the internet for you. it is considered safe, and your OB only prescribed it because they felt it was safe....
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 I was on diclegis for the first few months. Its especially made for morning sickness and nausea. One of the only pregnancy safe medications. It worked great for me.
8518086 tn?1407289593 Mamas that have used it.. is it safe to have zofran the whole pregnancy? I am 7 weeks but I depend on it because my nausea and vomiting is really bad but want my baby to be safe.. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I had Zofran with my first three. With this one i was prescribed maxolin as tge dr said it was too early for Zofran??? I was 6 weeks at that time and she made it sound like i couldn't have zofean yet. She is a new gp. Never seen her before but my usual dr who i love and trust tild me maxolin is garbage and to go straight to Zofran. Confusing.
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 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 My OB doesn't Rx Zofran bc of the cost. He said it's the SAME EXACT thing as taking Pepcid Complete and Unisom together (per recommended dosage of each). Totally safe and much cheaper if your insurance doesn't cover the Rx. Unisom is a sleep aid, but the ingredients combined with Pepcid Complete are the same as what's in Zofran.
Avatar f tn t really had significant relief. I heard about zofran but it has some slight risks for the baby and if you miss a dose you get really sick. Can someone clarify this for me?
Avatar f tn I took Zofran for about 3 weeks. No signs of disability or heart defects.
478429 tn?1265244387 m on it again with this pregnancy. I suffered through my first pregnancy because there was no Zofran yet. My 2nd they had me on Vitamin B6 and Unisom at bedtime, was on it the entire pregnancy as I have severe hypermesis. With the last baby I was on Zofran and Reglan the entire pregnancy and I've been on Zofran with this one since I found out at 3 1/2 weeks.
Avatar f tn No drug is 100% safe in pregnancy but ondansetron (trade name Zofran) is fairly safe. It does cause constipation. I would take it if I had severe morning sickness.
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?
10874336 tn?1415760929 in pregnancy as no pregnant women wants to put herself forward for testing but zofran has been used on millions of women with severe HG with very little effects. I am in UK and unfortunately our options for HG treatment is more limited than in Canada/US. Also the person who commented on the increase of cleft palates after being treated with zofran, studies have showed an increase in cleft palates in women who have taken zofran AND women who took none but had HG.
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 Completely understand was never prescribed zofran was prescribed promethazine but never took it just dealt with sickness but mines was never really bad I could still eat a little but the thing I don't get is why people keep saying the fda approved zofran for pregnancy they have never done so it was approved for cancer patients receiving chemo it is a class b drug and is fda approved but they also warn against the use by pregnant women as they don't know the affects
Avatar f tn As far as I know its been deemed safe for pregnancy. I had to be put on a zofran pump because I was so nauseous and vomited literally all the time. It got so bad I tore my esophagus a few times, and had to be in the hospital for fluids. That pump saved my life. I'm off it now, but still take the oral zofran as I need it. All my ultrasounds have shown that baby is perfect, and I did some hefty research before going on the pump, and couldn't find anything that said it caused defects.
1470528 tn?1324694321 I've been suffering from constipation today too. The pain is awful and all I want to do is go the bathroom! My sis n law had very bad constipation when she was preggo as well. She would go days with going to the bathroom. Her/my doc said that fiber is a must. She could take fiber pill/drinks to relieve the problem. Unfortunately it always came back to haunt her. I'm hoping this isn't the issue for you or for me. Let me know what works for you to relieve it.
Avatar f tn I cant figure out how to post a picture so if anyone knows then please let me know how, but anyways i have a list from my ob with all meds that are safe to take during pregnancy for things such as colds and allergies, constipation, nausea and and many other common things so if you would like to know just leave a comment and ill answer what meds are good to take if the problem yourr having is on the list i have :)
Avatar f tn I have been on Zofran for nausea and vomiting. I'm in my first trimester and I hope it is not harming me and the baby. I know the doctor said it's okay. I just rather hear it from a experience mommy too.
Avatar f tn I've never heard of this before unisom is a sleep aid but i don't see why sleeping better would help with nausea i have an abnormally high level of hormones that my body produces and have been diagnosed with hyperemisis during this pregnancy and both of my previous two it's excessive vomiting due to the high level off hormones my body produces.
8377023 tn?1399509160 I am saying that by Brynn's_Taylor's logic that "if something is going to be wrong then something is going to be wrong" then it's safe to do other things like drink alcohol because if something is wrong it's going to be wrong, right? Nothing causes it to be wrong.
Avatar f tn Did any of you ladies take zofran for nausea... I did and just saw a commercial that it can cause many different birth defects...
Avatar f tn Tylenol and zofran are safe for pregnancy. The stress from pain can cause the baby to be stressed as well... Id rather take meds and feel better. Than stress my baby out.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else taken zofran while preg? I read that it was bad for baby one some sites and is a miracle drug on others. I'm just concerned and would never want to take anything that could harm my baby.
Avatar f tn Zofran is perfectly safe for use in pregnancy. Its a category B medication meaning that no studies have found that it causes harm in humans, although some animal studies may have shown slight risk.
Avatar f tn They are considered very safe. I took both zofran and phenergan while pregnant with my daughter, and I've taken phenergan twice with this pregnancy. needless to say my daughter is VERY healthy, no problems whatsoever, and I'm 15wks with this one and he looks very healthy. they have been prescribing zofran and phenergan for a LONG time for pregnant women with no known birth defects or problems. don't feel guilty!
Avatar f tn Im 30 weeks today and have been vomiting for 2days so my ob gave me zofran has anyone eles taken zofran???
