Animal studies failed to reveal evidence of fetal damage. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Case reports have described two women who have received ondansetron during pregnancy for life-threatening hyperemesis gravidarum. No abnormalities were noted in the offspring of these two women. Ondansetron is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
I'm like kcdcd...I've used it for migraine nausea as well as with pregnancy. It works quick and no side effects for me. Life saver!
I would highly recommend Zofran. It is used for nausea and it works WONDERS! They have other drugs likes Phenergan and Compozine, but the side effects are long and AWFUL (I know because I have taken both). I just looked at the med fact on Zofran and while it doesn't say much about breastfeeding while taking Zofran, there aren't any known problems with taking it during pregnancy.
Every single commercial you see regarding a drug hits the rare side effects at the very end. Zofran is used in labor routinely and safely. I had to have it in both of my deliveries due to nausea and vomiting (seems I am a total wimp and that is part of my pain reaction).
Listen to any drug add and they, at the very end, list a couple of things that according to the package inserts on these drugs is are very low but legally they have to mention them in order to broadcast an ad.
They give people the impression that the medication is unsafe. Your doctor has taken an oath to care for you and do the best in terms of this. Zofran is used by millions of people without incident (myself included). I would not let tv commercials and a rare reporting of a side effect rule what you do. Trust your doctor.
Any already moms used ZOFRAN during their pregnancy and baby came out perfectly fine?
i started zofran a four weeks ago and i must admit i feel guilty for taking the pills but i was prescribed the pills vecause i couldnt hold anything down. i tried eveything and nothing helped. Zofran has been helping so much! i am able to keep foods down. still get horrible nausea but at least im able to eat. i tried to stop taking them but i threw up the whole entired day.
I used zofran in both my pregnancy I used it everyday for like 6 months with my first my daughter had to holes in her heart that she still has today an she's 3 my son only had a small hole an closed around 1 year I didn't know the effects until this pregnancy an i have the extreme morning sickness there's a fancynword for it I take diclegis a few times a day an it works great
I never used it during pregnancy but thy did give me a high dosage of it during labor it worked so good.
I took Zofran at the beginning of my pregnancy, it helped me a little with vomiting but i was still nauseous most the time.
I've never heard of that being perscribed in pregnancy, I take zofran and or phenergan ...
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?
It is perfectly fine to take while pregnant I took it threw out my first pregnancy and I'm currently taking it now threw my second pregnancy :)
I am just 8 weeks. I feel like I am trapped in a never-ending pregnancy. This is my first one. I should be excited. But this vomiting is killing me. That day it was so bad that I couldn't even drink water as it was burning my throat. I can't even eat anything. I get bad smell from almost every food. Lost 3lbs in 1 week. God please help me!
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.
When I was nauseated early in pregnancy, I didn't know about zofran, I took (OTC) motion sickness tablets, and b-vitamin supplements and both methods helped. When I saw those ads about the lawsuits I was happy I hadn't taken zofran.
This is my second pregnancy , my first was so awful I wasn't keeping anything down not even meds and I lost 20lbs the first trimester from my MS. I'm hoping this one goes smoothly . I'm only 4 weeks along but I'm. Starting to get nasousous and feeling like I'm about to throw up at all times so my dr . Put me on Zofran (which she did the first pregnancy put I couldn't keep it down so I barely took it) did you guys ever take it ? Does it really work .
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.
They can't actually prove it was specifically the zofran that caused the birth defects.
