Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting, Postoperative "So I was prescribed Zofran when I got my wisdom teeth out! Worked like a charm! I also have had this huge fear of vomiting, so bad that I’ll work myself up and become so anxious that I feel like I’ll vomit. This little tablet helps a bunch!"

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "This is such an effective and helpful med. I can't tell you how many times I'd been nauseous and almost immediately got rid of it with the dissolvable version. It melts, I wait a few minutes, and then it's gone normally."

Ondansetron for Gastroenteritis "Like one of the reviews above. I went into the ER with gastroenteritis symptoms. Could not keep down anything, including water, due to nausea and heavy vomiting of anything. Was given an injection of Zofran and a prescription for the generic ondansetron and felt less nauseous. Allows me to eat better and to sleep."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "This drug has saved my sanity. I was undiagnosed with a debilitating vomiting sickness. In the hospital at least once a week via ambulance. Repetitive vomiting and could not stop. To the point where I would become unresponsive. After about a month into my undiagnosed sickness, at the emergency room, a nurse gave me a wafer of Zofran. It was a huge relief as my uncontrollable vomiting stopped within 10 minutes. I had not heard of the drug, but after finally being diagnosed, after 6 months, as having Severe Idiopathic Gastroparesis, I found my new best friend. As well as having a kidney transplant and taking a bucket full of anti-rejection meds, I was so grateful that some smart cookie out there invented this drug. Saved my life."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I'm 32 weeks, 5 days pregnant. Was admitted into maternity yesterday after throwing up every few minutes all yesterday morning. They have me fluids and Gravol, but that only made me drowsy and did nothing for the throwing up, so they decided to give me the Zofran. It started working as soon as it was in my body. It was quick and very effective!"

Ondansetron for Gastroenteritis "Could not hold water down and had heaves all the way to the ER. They gave me a different medicine first, and it did nothing, so they gave me Zofran, and in a few minutes, I was sitting up wanting food."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "Zofran is a miracle drug! I've had this medication for several years on an as-needed basis. With my IBS and anxiety, I tend to get nauseous easily. Whatever the cause of my nausea may be, Zofran works every single time. Now that it's dissolvable, it makes it so much easier to take. The relief happens within 20-30 minutes, and usually 1 tablet is all I need. I do experience 2 side effects each and every time: a painful headache after the drug wears off (6-8 hours after taken) and constipation (practically nonexistent bowel movements) for 2-3 days. For the headache, OTC migraine meds work best. The constipation isn't bothersome enough for me to treat."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I have several chronic conditions, and one is called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. It's even worse than it sounds. I'm over 40 and have suffered since childhood. Gravol stopped working over a decade ago. Last December was particularly bad with many trips to the ER, and I finally got lucky and was given this. It's a miracle drug for me about 95% of the time. I do get some side effects like diarrhea and sweating, but they're very bearable. I don't go anywhere without a bottle of these."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Used 1 dosage for horrible nausea either caused by food poisoning or an intestinal virus. I was writhing around on my bed like Linda Blair in the Exorcist and took 1 x 4 mg pill. The nausea literally subsided within about 2 minutes. I am one to whine about the profits of big pharma, but bless the folks that came up with this. Wish I knew about this 20 years ago after eating a bad oyster and spent 3 days in bed. Also a shout-out to you pregnant mothers that deal with nausea, it’s the absolute worst."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I was taking Zofran for awful stomach upset with nausea because one of my other medicines I was on, I picked up at the pharmacy, was a generic new form of medication to treat pain. This new medicine made me very sick. Zofran helped out a lot, plus I could take it up to four times per day. However, I'm also on Lexapro for depression and panic attacks. One day, after 2 weeks on these meds, I had severe shaking happening to me, and I never felt this way before. Come to find out taking both the Zofran and Lexapro on the same day each day was a high risk of a drug interaction, very severe, and I was having the symptoms of a bad interaction. I need to change my Lexapro to another type of depression med. But, every depression med is bad with Zofran."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I have tried 3 different forms of Zofran on multiple occasions for 2 different reasons, and it has never helped my nausea at all. I have tried it for both my everyday nausea and my migraine nausea, but I would still throw up. I have tried the medication in the forms of: 1. Swallowing the pill 2. Dissolving the tablet in my mouth 3. Getting it pumped into me intravenously (with an IV in the hospital). Zofran just doesn't work on me, I guess! It works really well for some people, though."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I can't say enough about Zofran. I was curled in a fetal position in front of the bathroom, on the floor, in a cold sweat after vomiting for the last two hours. The last bout was dry heaving. Still, the nausea was crippling me. My wife gave me one pill, and within 30 minutes, the hell I was going through broke like an ocean tide receding. I keep Zofran in the medicine cabinet now, at all times."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "Zofran is the most reliable medication I have ever taken! It has prevented me from throwing up, or even feeling nauseous 100% of the time! It's sad that when I was growing up in the 1970s, all I could take for nausea was Pepto-Bismol, which never worked to prevent me from getting nauseous or vomiting. Pepto-Bismol is great for diarrhea, but it did nothing for my nausea. I can't say enough about Zofran!"

Ondansetron for Gastroenteritis "I’ve been sick with the stomach flu since last night. Ate dinner, then a couple of hours later was in the bathroom throwing up with major diarrhea. Stayed on the toilet literally all night. It was one of those “one little move and you feel like you’re going to throw up” times. Well, once morning came the puking stopped, but I was still really nauseous with dry heaves. So I called my doctor to see if there was anything I could take, and they recommended Zofran. Wow, is this a miracle drug! My nausea was gone within 10-15 minutes of taking it, and I was even able to hold down a couple of popsicles and water with it, until about an hour and a half ago when I started feeling nauseous again (the meds were wearing off, so I took another one, and within 10 minutes my nausea was gone! I even ate another popsicle and downed a little juice glass of water and didn’t throw up! If this little white, grape-flavored pill isn’t magic, then I don’t know what is!"

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I've had recurring nausea for over a year now. The bouts of nausea, dry heaving, and vomiting only bile would last for hours. Phenergan did nothing, but Zofran, within 5 min (usually), I'm cured. It does make you sleepy, but well worth a little tiredness. It is expensive without insurance."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "Today I went to the doctor for some common flu symptoms. They prescribed me Zofran for my nausea and upset stomach. About 10-15 minutes after taking it, there was a tremendous relief of everything. It works rapidly and does wonders. I have not experienced any side effects like headaches or nothing yet, so everything's good so far."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I suffer from chronic lower back pain due to scoliosis and arthritis (42 yrs old). I also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. I take Zofran almost daily to deal with the miseries of both lower back pain and digestive issues. I still have regular bouts of vomiting, however, Zofran will stop the pain and nausea that would continue for days and land me in the hospital with an IV delivering morphine into my system to stop the cycle of vomiting, nausea, and severe pain. I love my Zofran! It makes life 'livable.'"

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "Horrible drug for me. Actually makes me nauseous and throws up. Nothing tastes right on this medication. One dose had me throwing up and nauseous, not able to eat for a couple of days. One dose had me constipated for about 5 days before I was back to normal (with taking stool softeners Rx after surgery). May work for some, but for me, it’s a NO go."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I have extreme anxiety, which causes me to have stomach issues and be constantly nauseous. I love this medication, but the only side effect I have is constipation. I usually just take a Senokot or just eat the Fiber 1 bars. It works quickly. It doesn't taste the best, but it's absolutely worth it."

Ondansetron for Gastroenteritis "The best little white angel pill ever. I have been feeling ill for seven days. Until today, I decided to get help and went to a little clinic and got prescribed Zofran. It must be made in heaven because that little pill worked in minutes. I went from 20% to 70% real quick. I work at a job that doesn't allow you to call in, so this pill will be saving me from losing 8 hours on my paycheck. Stomach bug sucks, and I was tired of feeling hungry/sick every ten minutes. Thank you, my white angel."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "Went into the ER for the stomach flu. I had been sick for 4 days without eating a thing. I was severely dehydrated and was fainting. They gave me IV and a dissolvable pill of Ondansetron (4 mg). I was finally able to stop vomiting after 4 days. I still can't eat other than broth, but thankfully the vomiting stopped."

Ondansetron for Gastroenteritis "My son is 8 years old and could not hold anything down. The doctor gave him Zofran, and he began to have hallucinations! Well, come to find out, he is the 27th reported case in the U.S. He had to be sent to a children's hospital. My daughter is 2 and had Zofran, she did really well. She did a complete 360 in minutes. Just goes to show how everybody is different."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced "I went through a pure nightmare during chemo for my triple negative BC in 2015. Nausea is an understatement. My oncologist told me that I was the worst patient she ever had with nausea. This is a woman who was practicing in the '70s when they still treated with mercury. I cannot tell you how many nausea medications I was prescribed. Zofran was by far the BEST medication at relieving my symptoms. Five years later I still cannot 'handle' any kind of nausea. I have an 'emergency' prescription that I have with me 24/7. I only need it maybe twice a year, but it is still the magic bullet that relieves any nausea/vomiting I may have. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MEDICATION!!!"

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "I love this medication, it has made such a difference in my life. I was on the Zofran pump while pregnant for hyperemesis gravidarum, it is the reason I was able to carry my child to term. It is the reason we are both here today. I continue to take Zofran as needed for nausea stemming from complications with fibromyalgia, IBS, and celiac disease. It can cause constipation from time to time, but that is much easier than nausea and vomiting all the time. It melts quickly, and within minutes, the nausea is gone."

Ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting "The side effects from various drugs, particularly morphine, caused significant 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!"
