Ondansetron "Zofran is a lifesaver! I’ve been dealing with debilitating, constant nausea for months, and some days this pill is the only thing that makes me able to eat. I’ve experienced very few side effects, if any, and am so grateful for the relief from nausea. I cannot say enough good things about Zofran or recommend it highly enough."

Ondansetron "This medication is as close to a miracle for anyone with terrible nausea as it gets. Whether you have the flu or are going through chemo, Zofran is amazing. It works on your serotonin receptors; however, it is not like an antidepressant. It targets a specific function and suddenly, almost instantly in my case, nausea is gone. I thank my lucky stars that this medication exists. For many, it is a huge difference maker."

Ondansetron "This is the best medicine for vomiting I have ever had. I was on IV antibiotics with a lot of side effects, especially nausea, and the antibiotics could not be changed. I literally could not hold down water. I had to be on them for 3 months, and Zofran (both IV and ODT) helped me immensely. I was able to drink and even eat a little with much less nausea. People have to remember no medication may make symptoms resolve completely every time, but this comes pretty close. When I took it for regular nausea from a virus or something, it worked like 100% nausea gone. For me, there were no side effects, and again people have to remember if you're sick, some of the symptoms may not be side effects. If you're vomiting repeatedly and are dehydrated, of course, you're going to have a headache. But everyone is different, so what works for one may not have the same effects for another. But I'm a health care worker, and whoever is given Zofran usually has relief, so give it a try if your doctor says it's okay! Good luck."

Ondansetron "I was prescribed Zofran a few months back, I have suffered from nausea since I was 17 (I'm 36 now). This is the only drug that has ever worked for me, all the other over-the-counter meds just make the nausea worse. This makes my nausea go away within 30 mins and keeps it gone for 8 hours. I wish this had been around when I was younger."

Ondansetron "Was very sick from antibiotics and large doses of Prednisone to help with the asthma. Couldn't hold any food down but did take enough water and Gatorade. Kept losing weight and had terrible abdominal cramps with the nausea. Finally saw another doctor after 11 days who prescribed the Zofran, and all nausea and cramps totally went away. Finally, I could start eating again! Zofran was a miracle med for me!"

Ondansetron "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 years 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 it so I can get some relief. I am grateful."

Ondansetron "This medication works wonders for me whenever I feel sick or nauseous. The flavored tablets that disintegrate under the tongue or in the mouth are very convenient and work really quickly to relieve nausea/vomiting. The only real side effect from it that I have noticed is a slight tired feeling. I'd much rather feel a little sleepy than sick to my stomach. I really recommend this medicine if your doctor also feels that it is right for you."

Ondansetron "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 "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 "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 "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."

"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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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."

Ondansetron "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 "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 "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."
