| 4 | Chemo | Don't know--took too many meds together to know which ones did what. | 5 days | 10/13/2004 | 4 | Nausea Non Ulcer Dyspepsia | None | Very satisified | 7 days | 1/3/2008 | 5 | Nausea/fear of vomiting | Mild headache and sometimes dizziness | This is like a miracle drug. I have a severe fear of vomiting, so I keep these on hand. If I ever get sick or start to feel really nauseated, I just need to take one and I feel better within 20-30 minutes. Like most drugs. though, it works best if you take it before symptoms have a chance to get severe. If you have a feeling that your stomachache isn't going to go away or might get really bad, or if it's one of those things where you suddenly get hit with it, take it sooner rather than later as it will work faster and relieve more of the nausea. Taking it when you're already very sick and on the verge of throwing up still helps, but it may not get rid of all the nausea, just take the edge off. I love this drug, though, I'd be so lost without it. I can now eat out at restaurants and try new foods without feeling anxious and afraid about the potential consequences. | F | 18 | 1X AN | 11/28/2013 | 3 | nausea | For the last few days days my poop has been white! I have scoured the internet about possible reasons, and when researching what is in these tablets, there is hydrochloride, so it might be a culprit. | As for the way it worked, it worked wonderfully to relieve the nausea. | F | 18 | 1 days 1X AN | 4/23/2013 | 5 | nausea | mild drowsiness - it worked very well. it's the only available med i can have as i'm allergic (akathisia) to compazine and reglan. | F | 20 | 2 months 4-8 mg/day | 12/19/2011 | 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 | 4 | AIDS-related Kaposi's Sarcoma | Minor headache | Got my first disolving tablet a few hours earlier after spending the entire day and previous evening with severe nausea and vomiting. Within one hour my stomach stopped doing flip-flops and I have not thrown up in almost 4-hours - nausea feeling is still there, but nothing like it was earlier. I will be updating this as I take Zofran more often. | M | 20 | 1 days 4 mg 1X AN | 6/12/2011 | 5 | Morning sickness | Haven't really noticed to many side effects if anything slight constipation | F | 21 | 2 months 4mg | 11/27/2011 | 5 | severe morning sickness all day | occasional headaches | This is a miracle pill! For the first 2 weeks of my pregnancy i could not move from the bed with the trash can beside it. I had tried phennergan but that didn't touch the nausea. My OB prescribed me Zofran ODT and after getting it in my system for about 2 days I could work and eat just as normal as before the pregnancy. I am now 8 months pregnant and if I skip the dosing for one day I am back to the same way i was before I started. I would definately reccomend this to anyone with severe nausea. | F | 21 | 6 months 4mg 2X day | 5/2/2010 | 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 | 5 | nausea | no side effects whatsoever. it helped with my nausea so well. the strawberry taste helps because when you're constantly vomiting you don't want to take a pill with a bad taste. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 4mg | 3/11/2013 | 4 | gastroparesis | Constipation, and sometimes headaches | Zofran helped me live a semi-normal life. No gastroparesis medications worked for me, and I was (and am, without zofran) constantly nauseous. zofran is the closest thing to a miracle drug, if you're okay with being backed up more than a Bangladesh roadway | F | 21 | 1 years 4mg 2X day | 9/8/2023 | 4 | Severe pregnancy all day sickness | none | i was prescribed 4mg tablts 2xday. During a working day, I took two, when I was home I took one. Zofran is a very pricey pill, but it worked. Some days, after taking it I didn't feel pregnant at all, others I felt nauseous a little bit. I was very skeptical about taking meds during pregnancy, but I got pregnant three months after having my first baby (didn't even get a chance to start Birth Control), and after vommiting violantly for entire 9 months (including during labor), my body was so exhausted, with being sick without a break, I decided to try it. | F | 22 | 20 days | 8/15/2009 | 1 | nausea from pain med | takocardia and siezure...went to er due to pain from kidney infection...not on any other meds...nausea from pain med administered..given injection of zolfran, almost immediate twitching, burning in head, seizures and takocardia...ended up admitted in telemetry for almost a week!Told seizure is a possible side effect | F | 22 | 1 days injection 1X day | 10/2/2010 | 5 | Nausea and fear of throwing up | Occasional headache or slight constipation, but only rarely. | Miracle drug, if one dose doesn't work it's safe to take up to 24 mg a day I believe. It's very effective and I've never had to take that much. Miracle drug! | F | 23 | 1 days 8mg | 5/9/2016 | 4 | Indigestion and Chronic nausea | Headache (but this only happened on the first few times I took it) and drowsiness | It doesn't completely knock out the nausea, but it definitely takes the edge off. It does cause some drowsiness, but nowhere near the level that phenergan causes. Phenergan used to make it very difficult for me to wake up, but this doesn't give me a problem with waking. | M | 23 | 3 months 8 mg 1X AN | 4/3/2011 | 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 | 4 | Pregnancy first trimester, dehydrat | Extremely drowsy, would fall asleep within an hour of taking it. Severe constipation, was not able to go for 9 days. When I finally did there was some mucus and small amount of tearing | Helped immensely with nausea. Was finally able to eat more then twice a day | F | 24 | 7 days | 10/27/2019 | 4 | Nausea on period | No side effects. Works great! | I like it. Used it with IV in the Er. Works fast. I have no problem with it, everybody body is different and things react differently.. by viewing the comments it just so happens to be working good for me.. | F | 25 | 3 days 4mg 1X day | 2/9/2021 | 3 | severe all day "morning" sickness | drowsiness...but could be from pregnancy as well. | During my first two pregnancies, I had very severe morning sickness. I was in the hospital multiple times for it. Zofran worked, but my doctor's had to make sure I actually did need it before prescribing it. With my 3rd pregnancy, it does not seem to be working at all. I would love to know, if my body may have become immune to it. | F | 25 | 9 months 8 mg 2X day | 4/9/2010 |
