I was given this during pregnancy for severe nausea and vomiting and it helped significantly and I was able to eat a little bit. I tried to take it as little as possible (usually just one pill on the days I needed it). Then years later I had to have a prescription for this because I suffered severe pain due to a medical condition that required me to take Vicodin when pain was so severe. The Vicodi...
I have really bad allergies and in the mornings I'd be nauseated from my sinuses draining to my stomach while asleep. I'd get up the next morning gagging and retching, but not really vomit anything but stomach acid. My PCP gave me Phenergan to take at night. But it wore off and the next morning it's the same old thing. But I'd take it in the mornings with Benedryl and my sinuses would stop drainin...

This medication works wonders for nausea. I take when I start feeling nauseous and that's when I normally take it. After about twenty minutes the nausea is gone, like it never occurred in the first place.

I have taken Zofran with all 3 of my pregnancies. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and was diagnosed last week with full-blown Hyperemesis. I am on a higher dosage this time (8mg 3-4 times a day, rather than 4mg), and I am taking the orally dissolving tablets rather than the kind you swallow. It is working well so far, but I am also having headaches as a side effect, and constipation. The constipation, however, is not as bad as it was with my previous two pregnancies. There is no way I could function without this medication, and to me the side effects are small potatoes compared to the alternative. Previously I was camped out on the bathroom floor, vomiting so much that my throat was bleeding.Read More Read Less

This is by far the best medicine for my chronic nausea. Works well every time with no complications so far.

I have been battling with an infection inside my stomach; I would go days without eating because everything I ate caused me to vomit. I was put in the hospital twice from dehydration, and I missed so much work. The nausea was beyond unbearable. The doctor put me on zofran to last me until they finish running all the tests on me to figure out what is wrong. The nausea and vomiting stopped immediately. I still have to watch what I eat until they figure out what’s wrong, but at least I can eat. My only complaint is that the medicine causes constipation, I haven’t had a bowel movement in 6 days. I am just grateful that I am able to function now though. I give it two thumbs up!Read More Read Less

This medicine did help with the severe nausea I had, but beware of it if you get migraines. One pill caused a migraine that lasted for 3 days. I decided I would rather have the nausea than the migraine so I stopped using it.

My doctor prescribed this immediately after I told her my nausea had progressed to vomiting at 8 weeks. I do not vomit easily so although it doesn't sound as bad as the other reviewers, the nausea really was severe. I was living on ginger ale and saltines and now I can eat real food and get through the workday in some comfort!

I have only had anesthesia 3 times. The last two times they gave me Zofran somewhere along the line. I didn't have any nausea afterwards.

I have been on pain meds for 5 years now and have always had horrible nausea and 9 times out of ten I throw up after taking them. I have tried Phenegran and a few other anti-nausea meds with little or no relief. The very first dose of zofran I took helped amazingly! No more nausea and no more vomiting!! This is truly a miracle drug (at least for me anyway). I haven't had ANY side effects. The only down side is that it is very expensive. Luckily I have insurance, so it only cost me 6 dollars for 6 pills (generic).Read More Read Less

I have take Zofran for all 3 pregnancies...Ended up in hospital this time even with taking Zofran (for dehydration and vomiting). Doctor ordered home health and Zofran by SubQ - I had a 24 hour pump that delivered a constant dose throughout the day. It was the ONLY thing that helped me. Without my pump I would still be so sick.

Zofran was taken in the Chemo IV and worked great to prevent nausea. Took the pill for several days after each chemo cycle as a followup as I experienced nausea and Zofran made life better. Experienced some headache with the first use but as the weeks continued no additional side effects. Three months later I had started radiation and per my doctor suggestion to use Zofran for possible nausea I found that I was experiencing constipation and some dizziness. After the first week I stopped taking the pill and discovered no further problems. Overall very satisfied.Read More Read Less

Had the worst nausea hit me 5 weeks in, nothing over the counter worked for me. Started taking this and boom- no more nausea! wonder drug! Took it my entire pregnancy and had no more nausea, unless I missed a dose by accident. Keep taking at same times everyday and you won't have this problem. Little did I know that I would be taking this same drug a year later for cancer treatment. Very powerful stuff, and it works!
