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.

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.

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.

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.
