Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "Wow! I went to the ER on Tuesday night and it is now Friday and I was given Zofran for my nausea on top of everything else I was dealing with and this crap has made me nothing but nauseous with lots of throwing up and constipated! Not sure how long this is suppose to last, but it’s freaking annoying and I definitely don’t see myself taking this ever again."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I got food poisoning and couldn't stop vomiting and having nauseousness from 3 pm to about 4 am. I was puking so much and dry heaving that I was puking up blood (YIKES!). I found some extra zofran in my bathroom cabinet from my doctor from the other month, so I decided to take one 4 mg pill. Vomiting and nausea subsided after 15 min of taking zofran. Zofran, you're a life saver!!! Would always like to carry this Medication around with me all day if I could. Adam"

For Nausea/Vomiting "Best. Thing. EVER. I have lived with the irrational fear of throwing up my entire life. Thank the Lord for my doctor, who told me about Zofran when I wasn’t feeling well for days. Works within 15-30 minutes. Takes away the nausea completely. I will always carry these white dissolvable pills around with me."

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, Chemotherapy Induced "Going through chemotherapy for ALL for 3 years, and I've tried EVERY available CNIV that I could get when I was doing my chemotherapy. Zofran by far was the best for me specifically the sublingual (melt under the tongue) it also has a cherry taste to it and the taste of it gives me an almost instantaneously feeling of the symptoms being not as bad and then as it finally melts it greatly reduces the symptom if not completely stops them. Sometimes unfortunately there's times that even though it reduced symptoms that the CNIV was just stronger and I'd still not feel to well and still have CNIV but it did at least help and make it more tolerable when it didn't completely take it away."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I have been having a lot of stomach issues. I was told it was a bunch of things. At last it took about 4 months to conclude it was my colon. After a bout in the hospital I was given Zofran which worked wonders in no time at all; was also given Phenergan at one point and immediately became extremely irate until I passed out from it. In comparison Zofran is a God send. Can be expensive."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Pregnant in 1994, I was the first person in Scotland to take this medicine, injected, and it saved my life and that of my unborn child, scared and feeling at a loss it worked wonders. I was so thin, dangerously thin, dangerously ill, what a turn around in the space of one week. First thing I ate in 7 months came thanks to Zofran. I would recommend this to anyone who is suffering severe hyperemesis during pregnancy and not to worry, it worked out fine for me and my child who is now 19 and has an amazing life thanks to ondansetron (Zofran)."

For Nausea/Vomiting "This is a wonder drug! As an emetophobe norovirus season reasonably stresses me out. This med has worked wonders for me! Just a few days ago my 3 yr old woke up projectile vomiting everywhere with a high fever. This mama panicked. He was so ill the pedi Dr told me to take him to the ER. He was vomiting every 10 mins at this point. They gave him a Zofran tablet and he was better within 30 mins, with a script for liquid Zofran to come home with. Of course I feel ill as I have been exposed to the virus repeatedly. I took Zofran liquid this morning and the nausea is gone! I am at work and no need to vomit. I am terrified of throwing up and will deal with the side effects of needed."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I get AWFUL hormone-related nausea every month at the beginning of my periods. It often (not always) happens at the same time as my menstrual cramps and it keeps me up at night and prevents me from working during the day. Ondansetron/Zofran does what it’s supposed to, knocks out the nausea in about 30 min, with the only noticeable side effect being very slight drowsiness? The tiny pills are easy to swallow with a very small amount of water, good when almost everything is making you heave. Couldn’t ask for a better medication for this purpose."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I'm pregnant with my first, I was vomiting and couldn't keep anything down for the first 2 and a half months and lost 12 nearly 13 kilograms in that time. I started taking the Ondansetron 4mg wafers (dissolvables) around the 2 and half month mark and they worked wonders. With in 5-10 minutes of taking one I was feeling great and could conquer my day but every now and a again I take one and I feel the same if not worse. So they work great, but not all the time!"

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "Zofran is a life saver! Works quickly and very well. I get bad anxiety and worry a lot which causes recent and sometimes unbearable stomach upset. One pill and I'm good! I am so happy I found relief. It does cause constipation for me but I'd much rather deal with that!"

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 ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I must say I don't have cancer, and I don't have a disease, I have a spas mastic colon which in turns gives me a severe case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation. I usually have a bowl movement every 6-11 days and when I do, I get extremely ill with uncontrollable vomiting due to the pain. I've tried several NON dissolving medications and I've found that Zofran ODT (8mg) is the best and I will stick with it as long as it continues to work for me. I hope someone finds this helpful. If you have any form of illness that causes severe vomiting I recommend Zofran ODT."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "So, I suffer from Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) because of smoking pot for the last 5 years and I have to say, what has helped is Zofran - it is really good at doing what it’s designed to do ( helps nausea and vomiting) and eased the tension on my stomach, been using for a month every day 2 hours before smoking whatever ie concentrates or just bud. The Ondansetron is miraculous and will literally save you a ton of time since when I was constantly vomiting I couldn’t do my daily routine (going to work, hanging with friends) man I couldn’t even move at all, I was constantly in my bed throwing up..."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "Was given this drug while pregnant for morning sickness. Didn't help at all, gave me a headache and actually made me throw up a few times. My son was also born with a genetic mutation - Epidermal Nevus syndrome which I'm sure is from the Zofran as it is not approved for use during pregnancy. If I could go back in time I would NOT have used this during pregnancy. I was also given this drug several times for gastroenteritis with the same result - headache and increased vomiting. Did not work for me."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I am having severe digestive issues and we are trying to figure out what it is. Gastritis? Gallbladder attack? (I do have a gallstone) IBS? Ulcer? Just don’t know. I have horrible anxiety and stress when something is wrong with me. That probably adds to the nausea. I get nauseous and it hurts like a gnawing pain. I can’t really eat, it’s miserable. Went to the ER twice and they administered Zofran, let me tell you! It is a miracle drug! Painful nausea gone! I feel so much more calm and the gas/bloating is gone. I didn’t experience any effects. Even if I get sleepy, it’s a welcomed side effect after feeling yucky for days! Give it a try!!"

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "Zofran is amazing. Absolutely amazing. My entire life I have feared throwing up. Not sure why but I now have anxiety because of it. I found out I was pregnant and was slightly nauseous all day everyday but with someone who fears vomiting greatly, I was scared and upset. My doctor finally prescribed me zofran after visiting the hospital for nausea and it has been helping me ever since. I have been taking it for 4 years now whenever I need it And it takes it away immediately. So thankful"

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I, unfortunately, have extensive experience with hospitals and chronic illness. I currently have a non-healing ulcer and I’m desperately trying to avoid a major, life-changing surgery. I’ve had Zofran in IV form, tablets, and melts. I currently use 4mg melts with the only side effect possible drowsiness. It has been a game changer for me, and I prefer it over Reglan. I give Zofran a 10 out of 10."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I've been dealing with extreme nausea and vomiting for the past 6 months, and it finally got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and went to the ER. They gave me Zofran through IV and was feeling better in about an hour. After I was released I was on 4 mg every 8 hours and for about a week I was back to my old self. Then things started to go down hill, and they boosted it to 8 mg. Now it doesn't evenwork anymore and makes me more nauseous than I was before. I also got pretty bad constipation and headaches after taking the medication. Not to mention, if you're taking the tablets be ready to handle the taste because it is DISGUSTING."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I have a variety of GI issues as well as a phobia of throwing up and ever since I've been taking Zofran ODT, I've been able to function without throwing up in the middle of the night every night. My only complaint would be that after 5 years of taking it, it doesn't work as magically as it did at the start, but it still works wonders."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "Zofran is great for nausea, but watch out for the constipation. I was prescribed 15 8mg tablets last week and have used one tablet a day since then (about 5 days now) and after waiting, walking, drinking copious amounts of water, I am going to need to try a suppository, or laxative, and have my dosage of zofran decreased to 4 mg. Great medication, it DOES give me nausea relief, just something to be prepared for, I know I wasn't."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Gastroenteritis "Zofran is heaven sent. It saved me and my baby's lives. I was sick for 9 months with hyperemesis gravidarum. I was on a zofran pump as well as IV HYDRATION. I don't know if my baby would have survived without it. I'm still using it for chronic nausea. I wish I could personally thank the creators of this drug. Thank you."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "Since a child I’ve always been nausea prone. Sometimes there would be a direct correlation such as motion (car more often) sickness, over eating/ unhealthy eating, etc. Mostly it just comes out of no where and stops me in my tracks. Without insurance it was very expensive (not sure how much, but $$$). Ever since having insurance and paying a few dollars I will never be caught dead without a couple tabs on my person!!! My GI was very understanding and prescribed 60 tabs a month (up to 2 a day) with a generous amount of refills!!! Only once did it not work but that was on New Years and I believe for obvious reasons!! I’ve not really noticed side effects since my nausea throws off my body anyway. I take this med at least once a week. I can’t believe I wasn’t introduced to this sooner!!!!!!! It’s saved my life"

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "I caught a stomach virus last winter and was vomiting repeatedly. I couldn't keep anything down. I was nauseous, dizzy,and feverish. I felt like I was on a moving boat and I couldn't move or even think without vomiting. After I threw up bile the 2nd day, I went to the ER. I vomited in the waiting room and 3 more times in the exam room. I was given Zofran, which helped a lot. I only threw up 2 or 3 more times after that. I was diagnosed with norovirus."

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting "My daughter was experiences a constant unexplained ache in her stomach and a feeling that she was going to throw up, that no stomach test could find. 3 months later an MRI showed she had an AVM in her brain. Surgery to repair took all symptoms away. 3 years later she started having the same feelings. Found out the feeling of throwing up was the aura before partial seizures they didn't know she was having. Still was having the gnawing ache. One amazing doctor suggested Zofran...it was our miracle. She has been fine ever since."
