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...

I highly recommend this medication based on my results. Without it I would be vomiting all day (hyperemesis) malnourished and dehydrated. My past pregnancies I used Atarax/Reglan/Phenergan all with a drowsy/sleepy/very sesitive to odors effect and I also continued to be sick occasionally. Taking Zofran allows me to basically continue my everyday schedule including work without feeling sleepy or drowsy. Sometimes I feel queasy or a little gassy, but it is tolerable. It has made being pregnant enjoyable rather than miserable.Read More Read Less

with my first child I was miserable my entire 1st trimester. Now with my second child, the nausea was just as bad. Once I began using Zofran (1/2 tablet) the nausea stopped completely. HOORAY.

I am breastfeeding and became sick with the stomach flu(which I recieved from my child). I was unable to keep anything down and was placed on this drug. My milk has decreased significantly, not sure if this is related to the sickness or the Zofran.

This works really well without tiredness, but isn't covered by my insurance. Very expensive.

My body does not like to vomit so instead it holds it in and makes me miserable all day. This medicine is a miracle drug!! Without it there is no way I could eat a thing.

I vomited every day of my pregnancy. At least with Zofran, i could wake up, throw up once, take the Zofran, and feel OK the rest of the day. When I was able to get some through insurance (which was very difficult since it was not an approved drug), It made working possible. I would have been hospitalized for dehydration and insufficient weight gain for the majority of my pregnancy if it weren't for Zofran.

This medicine has allowed me to continue working during pregnancy. It has caused me excessive gas and stomach cramps. However, I can continue to work with those conditions vs. the constant vomitting and nauseaness.
