"Was given Zofran for nausea in the recovery room before going to the same-day surgery unit prior to release. Ended up with nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and shivering. After the second vomiting episode, I was given Phenergan and was able to be released in another couple of hours."

"I've been given Zofran pre-op and post-op for all ten surgeries, including my hysterectomy, since I always have nausea and vomiting before/after surgery. I've even gotten Zofran during ER visits for migraines, gallstones, and ovarian cyst ruptures. This is my go-to antiemetic, and I even have the ODT in my nightstand in case I ever get too nauseous. Amazing drug!"

"I had a gastric plication done (like gastric bypass) and woke up after surgery profusely throwing up to the point they had to sedate me again to put the anti-nausea stickers behind my ears to keep me from vomiting as soon as I woke up again. Well, they gave me the Zofran to take at home, so I would take them every 4 hours before the last dose ran out and didn't feel nauseous ever again. Really great stuff."

"I had a horrible reaction to the anesthesia after surgery and was given Zofran for the nausea. I am now three weeks taking it, and it has been a lifesaver for me. It works really fast, and the only side effect I have is hard stools."

"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!"
