Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I have had nausea and been vomiting for one year and one month, I am 16 and I have spent 90% of my life the past 1.1 year/mo in bed sick. The last month, FINALLY, after so many medications...THIS, WAS IT. I am still being tested as no one knows what is wrong, that is causing me to be so sick...BUT Zofran has made so I can get SOME relief, I am grateful.

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 (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: 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.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced: My Mother was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer and had to undergo months of chemotherapy which caused her to be severely sick (she was 69 at the time of diagnosis). The medication for sickness that the hospital gave her didn't work, and she still vomited and felt drained etc from both the vomiting and the chemotherapy. I went to my GP (I'm English) and asked him if there was anything which he could prescribed to help her as it was terrible seeing her going through this, and he prescribed Zofran. I cannot praise this medication enough, within moments of her taking it, her sickness subsided and she continued through her chemotherapy taking only the Zofram and she was never sick again!!

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.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I have had constant nausea for SEVEN years related to gastroparesis and Meniere's disease (an inner ear disorder causing severe vertigo and nausea). I was finally offered Zofran on my last emergency room trip (I told the doctor if they didn't do something I was going to go insane)... Zofran has been a lifesaver and I never go anywhere without it. And I mean that. It works like magic every time I need it. The longest it has ever taken to kick in is 45 minutes. I can't say enough good things about it. 100% thumbs up.

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 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 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 (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I was given this medicine for morning sickness. I took only 2mg in the morning, and had no nausea/vomitting for 24 hours. The only side effect was that it made my lips chapped.

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: My mother was down to 78lbs.due to nausea.Phenergan had been the only drug her Dr.would prescribe. This continued for 3 months until someone told me about zofran. I asked if we could please try it, it was amazing.I'm positive,if we hadn't asked about this drug,she would be dead from starvation ,due to nausea.

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: 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.

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'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, Radiation Induced: I have esphogeal cancer, having radiation daily and chemo weekly. This medicine is so precise about keeping the nausea and vomiting down I can tell exactly when a dose is due. 1 every 12 hours. I am thankful this medicine is there. The side effects are very bearable (unknown concerning liver). It is very expensive but if you have a severe issue - the money is not your main concern. If you have cancer, there are agencies that can help with the drug cost. Try AM Cancer Soc. Maybe they can help guide you. Keep your spirits up and prayers in your daily life. Take Care.
