 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 5  Hyperemesis None This is my third and most severe HG pregnancy. During my worst weeks (7-20) I took 8mg twice a day in addition to Dicletin and Gravol. This kept me out of the hospital and quite functional, although still slightly nauseous. At 21 weeks I began to wean down to just the Zofran and only 2 Dicletin. By week 28 I was only taking the Zofran on an as needed basis. This drug was not available during my previous pregnancies and even though this is my most severe bout of HG, with the help of the Zofran I am actually the most functional, least depressed and have been able to gain the most weight out of all my pregnancies. This drug was an absolute miracle for me with no side effects other than some minor constipation. F 36 21 weeks

 5  nausea, vomiting, GERD, gastritis drowsiness Worked well for me. This medication made the nausea go away (and thus prevented more vomiting). It took about 30-60 minutes to kick in (in tablet form). F 28 3 weeks

 4  Severe morning sickness Severe constipation, headaches Zofran is helping me tremendously with my morning sickness. This is my second pregnancy - with my first pregnancy, I was so sick that Zofran didn't seem to really help me, but I definitely notice an improvement with this one. I do have to eat Activia yogurt with Benefiber to combat the constipation, which is severe, let me tell you. But having to address that is better than throwing up and feeling so incredibly nauseous all day long. F 32 7 days
8 MG 1X day
