| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOFRAN ODT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | GERD disease and Reflux vomitting | Unknown. | M | 66 | | 6/9/2002 | 4 | Chemo | Don't know--took too many meds together to know which ones did what. | 5 days | 10/13/2004 | 5 | to prevent nausea after chemo | Slight constipation relieved by diet and senna | Wonderful. I received through my IV before chemo and then took five 8mg doses of dissolving tablets. I have had no nausea and no vomiting. I received a sample pack the first time I used it but paid for the second. W@ell worth it. | F | 64 | 6 weeks | 8/12/2005 | 5 | Morning Sickness | WONDER DRUG!!!!!!!! This was soo GREAT. I am SERVER Morning Sickness and this fixed it all. You dont need water to take it. It cost at least $25 a pill, but its sooooo worth it! ROCK GSK! | GREAT!!!! | F | 20 | 10 months | 9/2/2005 | 5 | chemo, surgery | No side effects | Zofran eliminated nausea with chemo for me every 3 weeks for 8 months. I now request the drug when having surgery to prevent the racking vomiting I previosly suffered from anesthesia. It works for me perfectly and takes some of the dread out of facing surgery. | F | 39 | 8 days | 12/11/2005 | 5 | Morning Sickness | I didnt exprience any side effects from this medicine | It was a wonderfull cure all for my morning sickness. | F | 24 | 3 days | 8/10/2006 | 5 | Morning Sickness | Mild constipation, which could be from prenatal vitamins or just being pregnant. | 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. | M | 34 | 7 days | 10/15/2006 | 5 | chemo nausea | 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! | 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. | F | 52 | 14 days | 12/1/2006 | 5 | nausea and emetophobia | none | 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. | F | 21 | 2 years | 12/10/2006 | 4 | Morning sickness | none | 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. | F | 27 | 6 months | 1/4/2007 | 5 | nausea from migraine | None | Miracle drug for nausea and vomiting! I take 2 8mg. Works fast. Taste is minty and light, dissolves quickly for brand name. For generic taste is minty, but a little grainy, and takes longer to dissolve. Generic works just the same and cost less so I still get it. I prefer it very much over the older stanby for migraine nausea - phenergan. Made me sleep way too long. Can't say enought good things about it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for people with migraines who can't keep anything down. This will let you finally be able to take your pills. | F | 31 | 1.5 years | 8/22/2007 | 3 | gastroparesis | run down a little more than my normal run down from MS. | Did not make the neasea go completly go away but it did improve the really bad days. When you throw-up 6-7 times a day even a small amount of releif is worth it. | F | 39 | 3 months | 9/8/2007 | 5 | SEVERE NAUSEA & INTESTINAL YUCK | THIS STUFF IS GREAT! I SET MY ALARM TO TAKE MY OND4, SNOOZE FOR 20, TAKE MY OTHER PILLS AND ASSURE ABSORBTION, WITHOUT WORRY OF REGURGITATION....'SHUDDERING!!!'...YOU CAN TRUST THIS STUFF! | 5 STAR RATING, I NO LONGER GREET THE MORNING PORCELAIN GODDESS FACE FIRST, THANK GOODNESS!!! PUBLIC AID WILL PAY FOR IT, BUT ONLY IN 5 DAY INCREMENTS. IT'S WELL WORTH THE WEEKLY TRIP TO YOUR DRUG DEALER, UH...PHARMACIST I MEANT...TEEHEEHEE...GOOD STUFF!!! * * * * * +++ | F | 43 | 1 years | 10/19/2007 | 5 | Ureter blockage from kidney stone.. | None! | ...took post surgery as well. This stuff is amazing. Phenegran doesn't work for me but 8mg of zofran will keep me from throwing up for at least 4 hours. | F | 31 | 4 days | 11/16/2007 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Nervousness, Panic attacks | Too pricey and did not help | F | 42 | 1 months | 11/27/2007 | 5 | Brain Aneurysm burst | Slight increase in headache on occasion. Other than that experienced no side effects. | This is the best anti-nausea medication on the market today! Due to my aneurysm all I have to do is turn my head, stand up, smell food or anything and I get extremely ill. If I vomit I end up in the hospital. I now take Zofran ODT for the nausea; within a couple minutes it is gone. No more hospitalization. Unfortunately my health care provider is no longer going to carry the ODT and I will have to use the swallow. Now I will have to wait for it to work like the Phenergan which does not, compazine which does not. This is a great medication. | F | 44 | 16 months | 12/2/2007 | 5 | Hyperemesis Gravidarum | Severe constipation, headaches, fatigue | Very expensive drug; insurance companies would rather pay for hospital stay than 9 1/2 months of this medication; best drug (IMO) for pregnant women suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum | F | 33 | 9 months | 12/23/2007 | 4 | Nausea Non Ulcer Dyspepsia | None | Very satisified | 7 days | 1/3/2008 | 5 | Surgery and with Flagyl | None. This drug has been a lifesaver for me. I wish they had it when I had morning sickness years ago. I use it for any surgery and when taking antibiotics that make you nauseas. | If you are sensitive to pain meds, take this with it and it helps. | F | 50 | 5 days | 4/4/2008 | 1 | Severe morning sickness | no side effects | I suppose I'm one of the only women out there where this drug didn't TOUCH my morning sickness. Not a bit. Might as well have been taking a placebo pill. Tried for about a week with no avail - I was SO disapointed! | F | 33 | 7 days | 5/23/2008 |

It is also used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting after surgery. Ondansetron works by blocking one of the body's natural substances (serotonin) that causes vomiting.
