Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 24 Time Taken: 3 days Reason: Morning Sickness Date: 10 August 2006 Side Effects I didnt exprience any side effects from this medicine Additional Thoughts It was a wonderfull cure all for my morning sickness. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: M Age: 34 Time Taken: 7 days Reason: Morning Sickness Date: 15 October 2006 Side Effects Mild constipation, which could be from prenatal vitamins or just being pregnant. Additional Thoughts This is my first pregnancy, and until Zofran, I considered it my last. I've never been so miserable in my life. Was prescribed Zofran and haven't been ill or even FELT any nausea while taking it. Class B drug (like Tylenol), so I feel safe having it in my system, along with baby. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 52 Time Taken: 14 days Reason: chemo nausea Date: 1 December 2006 Side Effects None. It is expensive, over 1000.00 for 21 pills. My insurance will only allow 21 pills per 90 days. I have 2 weeks on 1 week off of chemo for 18 weeks and 21 pill at 3x per day each time will not be enough. Of course I can always buy it myself (YIKES!) Good news the patent just ran out and there should be a generic available soon. Thank God! Additional Thoughts It works quickly with no side effects and has a nice minty taste that helps with the queasy feeling from chemo. No drowsy feeling like phenegran. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 21 Time Taken: 2 years Reason: nausea and emetophobia Date: 10 December 2006 Side Effects none Additional Thoughts I LOVE Zofran ODT. I have debilitating emetophobia (fear of vomitting) and a very sensitive stomach on top of that -- my doctor prescribed Zofran for me and it has really given me back my life. I take 8mg PRN ... works in as little as 10 minutes for me. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 27 Time Taken: 6 months Reason: Morning sickness Date: 4 January 2007 Side Effects none Additional Thoughts It did help a little. I still felt like throwing up all day, but it just helped me not throw up as much. It was nice it dissolves on your tongue so I didn't gag it back up.
