Zofran and medication

This medication has been very effective for me, who suffers from nausea on a frequent basis and does not know yet for a 100% cause of it. It is possibly anxiety.

Anyway, one side effect this medication causes for me is constipation. But a lot of different medications cause that. If you are constipated, start taking fish oil. It makes stools softer and more regular.

Another side effect is drowsiness but that goes away after a while of taking the medication.

I am currently taking Zofran (day 3) My prescription says to take it every 4 hours. I am noticing that I am fine with the first tablet (besides constipation). When I take the second one, I am natious and have this incredible desire to not stop eating. Nothing seems to satisfy the hunger. Not to mention the incredible bloating and cramping Anyone else felt this way? Im going to go to just the one in the morning and just be sick the rest of the day once it wears off.

Thank you for posting your comments and for those who shared what effect it has on on them and their babies. I started taking Zofran after I had to go to the hospital during my pregnancy for being so sick and dehydrated and down 17 pounds. I was hoping the sickness would stop at the end of the first trimester, but I am now 17 weeks and I don't think it is going to go away. I started reducing the dose and cutting the pill in half and quarters, but I was still very nervous about taking a medication when I was pregnant. A couple days ago I stopped taking it, about 5 weeks of using it. Now I am back to being sick and trying everything again to get through the day, but I feel more secure in the decision. I also have an appt with an Acupuncturist in two days who treats nausea in pregnant women. I am very excited about tying this new option that is not a medication. Thank you again for sharing!!

i am currently pregent and i am takin zofran for the nausea and vomiting feeling...it deffently helps me alot but it gives me bad consitpation from this medication othe then that the mecication is a great one for the nausea and vomiting feelings

I took Zofran for nearly my entire pregnancy for severe vomiting, and it was the wonder drug. HOWEVER, I want to let everyone know that my son has a lot of health issues (i.e. severe reflux, asthma, hypotonia, oral motor issues) and I've met some other moms with children who have similar issues. Surprisingly, all of these moms took Zofran through their pregnancies as well, so my gut tells me there is a link.

Have zofran pump in my leg I get a big red welt around the area that the needdle is in my thigh.
What does this mean I'm pregnant and taking this medication because I throw up anything I eat. I'm 4 months pregnant and lost about 15 pounds already.'
Help would the pills zofran help more than the pump in my leg.
