Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting, Postoperative: Best anti-nausea medication available. Very effective for those undergoing chemotherapy. Also good for conditions when you are nauseous and require a narcotic analgesic - nausea will still subside. If you are allergic to other nausea medications such as compazine and/or reglan, like I am (severe panic attacks), zofran is your safest best (only side effect I have occasionally noticed is slight headache). The only real downfall is the price of the orally disintegrating tablet, because there is no generic. The non-ODT tablet does have a generic, and is also very effective, but if you need relief FAST, ODT is the best way to go.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I take this medicine for seviere morning sickness. I would have lost my job if it weren't for this medicine! It's the best! I only have good things to say about it! The only side effects I have are light headaches, anxiety at night sometimes, not often, and constipation but I will take any of those any day over having to be glued to the toilet and in bed for 3 or more months!

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: If you don't know what Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome is, Google it. It can not be cured. I have CVS and Zofran is the ONLY thing that helps me.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Was prescribed this medicine for morning sickness which lasted the entire first trimester of my pregnancy. Worked great, I was able to function and without feeling dopey or drowsy. The only drawbacks were the terrible headaches and expense of the drug, with insurance it was $50. The headaches were a welcome trade-off to feeling like death for 90 days.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: This medicine works extremely well, however, the next morning had a massive "hangover". I have a horrible headache and feel like my head weighs a ton.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Being pregnant, the morning sickness is horribe! I leave my dissolving Zofran on my night stand so before I get out of bed in the morning I take one and I am set for the whole day! If not, I barely make it to the kitchen for my decaf coffee without spewing up a whole lot of nothing. Thanks doctor, I love this medicine. The only downside is that it tastes horrible, but it dissolves so fast it is MUCH better than the alternative.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Worked great for mild nausea associated with head trauma. Took two pills and nausea went away almost immediately. On the negative, now in dispute with hospital ER for charging $291 for the two pills. I could have picked up at local pharmacy for about $30, generic. I had explicitly declined a CT scan (with doctor's okay) to reduce ER cost so was not expecting the doctor to find what must have been highest priced nausea pills in hospital pharmacy. I had reported an overall discomfort of 3 on a scale from 1-10.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I have been given this medication twice - once after surgery to deal with nausea/vomiting from the pain medicine and again for severe morning sickness from pregnancy. It has been very helpful, however I have experienced severe constipation as a side effect.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I began having severe nausea and dry heaving during my pregnancy. Doctor prescribed Zofran, and within minutes the buzz of nausea was gone. Instant relief. It really took the edge off. I highly recommend Zofran.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: This morning at about 1 am I was admitted to ER with uncontrollable vomiting. Literally within seconds of the Zofran injection, the nausea was gone, which says a lot because I was actively vomiting when the injection was given. God bless the men and women who developed this drug. It truly is a miracle.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I've had severe morning sickness with both of my pregnancies. No other medication worked. I've been off work for a week, unable to get out of bed. After only two days on this drug I can finally start living again.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I lost 5 pounds in 2 days while pregnant because I could not hold down any solids. A doctor injected Zofran intravenously IV at 10 pm, the next day I woke with tremendous amounts of energy and even ate a fat burger. That effect lasted for me only until about 11 am.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Zofran is without a doubt the best drug out there for nausea. Most doctors want to prescribe the older medicines because they are cheaper but Zofran is the best.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I was given Zofran for ALL DAY morning sickness during pregnancy. It works very well, but causes constipation, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. If I wait at least 12 or more hours between doses the side affects are milder and the nausea is almost completely gone. Before I had this drug I was miserable and missing work.

I started taking this for "morning sickness" during my 3rd pregnancy. In the past I had dealt with extreme nausea and vomiting the first trimester which made me so dehydrated I was hospitalized several times. This time around I was at my wits end and tried all the anti-nausea medicines except this. After taking it, the nausea completely disappeared. Like another user I felt dizziness and headache at first but that soon was gone and I was normal. Can't say enough about this! A lifesaver for anyone who knows what it's like to throw up for weeks on end.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I was given Zofran during a operation on my shoulder. In the past I came out of surgery very sick and nauseated; not this time. It was a welcome change.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: This drug has saved my life at least once. I took it when I was pregnant and had unrelenting morning sickness that wasn't helped by any other medications. I'm now taking it again for nausea caused by severe pain (as well as the nausea caused in turn by pain medications, as I seemingly can't win on that one). But perhaps most importantly, it was the only drug that got me out of opiate withdrawal when I had the stomach flu. Without this, I would have been in the hospital because I couldn't otherwise keep anything down and without opiate therapy the withdrawal and the pain combined could easily have killed me. The only possible drawback is cost; even the generic would be completely out of reach for someone without insurance.

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: The medicine saved my second pregnancy (with twins). It enabled me to eat normally most of the time although I did have a bit of nausea. There was no adverse effect on my twins - both are healthy 18 months later. Great drug.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Until my doctor gave me Zofran, I was one of the millions of women who suffered terrible morning sickness. It was so bad, in fact, that I couldn't work. The first day I took it, I became dizzy, but the vomiting stopped. The dizziness was gone by the second day. It did cause constipation and I was hungry all the time. By the second trimester, I went off of it and found that my bowel movements returned to normal and my appetite had returned to somewhat normal.
It definitely serves its purpose during the first trimester.

ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced: My mum started taking Zofran when she was on Folfox-4 Protocol (5-FU and Oxaliplatin) for the treatment of Stage IV colorectal cancer. Zofran was instrumental in removing the nausea and vomiting side effects that usually accompanies this treatment. Mum rarely had any vomiting or nausea attacks while she was using Zofran. The only side effect was slight chapping on the lips which was easily treated by using topical creams.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I took this drug when I was pregnant. I was Vomiting so much I had to be hospitlized at least 4 times and had to have in house IV treatments. Once I took this drug I was able to go back to work. The only problem was my insurance stopped covering the drug.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: This really is a life saver. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have cripling morning sickness. So bad that I could not eat or drink anything for over a week. As soon as I took one pill I became 100000000 times better. I would recommend this pill to anyone. I love it. 10 out of 10 in my book.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: The side effects from various drugs, particularly morphine caused signficant nausea. In fact, I'd have to rate the nausea as worse than the actual pain. Zofran worked like a charm, quite quickly, with little side effects (as far as I know). It certainly made my recent visit to the hospital much more comfortable!

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: My doctor prescribed this to me for pregnancy induced nausea and vomiting. All of my pregnancys were horrible with nausea and vomiting. Well this time Im about seven weeks pregnant and I have been taking the generic brand onadosterone orrally distinguishing tablets, they are small with a minty flavor. It melts quickly and I must say I have not vomited one time this pregnancy. I have had mild tiredness, headache, dizziness and much better than nausea and vomiting and being unable to eat.
