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. Published: September 27, 2007 ::

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. Published: September 29, 2007 ::

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. Published: November 04, 2007 ::

found out i was 6 weeks pregnant on the 2nd day of my honeymoon. throwing up constantly.. more thant 3 times an hour, went to an urgent care and they gave me iv Zofran and a prescription.. i didn't throw up again the rest of the trip, however, i have had to continue taking the medication and i'm currently 16 weeks pregnant.. and when i stop taking the meds for a day, the nausea and vomiting immediately return.. it hasn't made me feel like my pre pregnant self, but it has made what was a severely debilitating condition tolerable, so at least i can keep food and liquids in.. my only complaint is that this medicine is SOOOOOOO very expensive and we don't have insurance.. but i have to have it to be able to half way function in my daily life.. i would definitely reccomed this to women with severe nausea and vomiting.

I am 7 weeks preg with my first baby and I NEVER thought I would be soooo nausea. It was soooo hard to be at work with the feeling of needing to throw up every second. I started taking Zofran that my doctor prescribed me and it made a WORLD of difference. I DEFINITLEY recommend this medicine for anyone who has morning sickness. I still have the other symptoms such as tired, peeing every 30 min and being in bed by 9:30 every night, but I can deal with that. So far I have not had any side effects.

This medication was very effective at ceasing my nausea due to pregnancy. And, this medication has recently been made generic! So, it is definitely affordable to anyone now. Published: July 14, 2008 ::

If it were not for Zofran, I would be throwing up right now! My doctor had to ask the medical board of my insurance company to approve this for me! It is very expensive and the only thing that has allowed me to hold down any food! I am so thankful for this drug! Published: November 30, 2007 ::

During my first Trimester I was unable to keep any food down and this medication helped so much. Published: April 25, 2008 ::

I had to use this during my second pregnancy after trying bothe phenergan and Tigan. Zofran was the only thing that kept the food down. I just wish it didn't cost so much Published: April 10, 2008 ::

This drug was recommended to me by a friend. I had severe morning sickness with my first two pregnancies and now pregant for the third time and sick again. I was not doing well taking care of two older kids and working full time. I tried Phenergan at first and did nothing for me. Zofran has worked great. I take it twice a day and have not thrown up since taking it and can actually function at work. I am very tired at the end of the day but that's a side effect of pregnancy not the drug :) Published: March 27, 2008 ::
