Zofran ODT (ondansetron) "Whole family in hospital for stomach virus with severe nausea and vomiting every half hour. This medicine completely stops the nausea within minutes! It definitely gives you headaches and makes you sleepy, but this is a small price to pay to stop the nausea when you are in that situation. "

"I am a puker. I am nauseous a lot. I've had a lot of testing done to try to figure out what this happens. I've got some results, acid reflux, slow digestion. I also get horrible migraines. Zofran is my miracle medication. Normally it just takes 4mg. Sometimes if I'm already puking I have to take 8mg. Years ago I was given Zofran at the hospital thru IV and it worked great. I was released with a script for the oral pills. As soon as I would swallow them, they would come up. I hated it cuz I knew the medicine would work, but I couldn't keep it in my system long enough to work. I stopped taking it cuz I was just wasting it throwing it up every time. The next I was hospitalized I was given the pills that melt under the tongue! GoD SENT! It has mad such an improvement in my life. I always carry zofran with me. Its great that I don't have to take it everyday...just the times I need it."

"I recently started Zofran 4mg for constant nausea and vomiting due to anxiety and panic disorder, severe emetephobia and gastritis and have had great results. It does cause crippling stomach cramps at times and some constipation but those I can handle. I forever thought of Phenergan as my miracle after taking it for 5 years for a failing gallbladder (its removed now) but Zofran has been so much more effective at stopping the constant nausea and allowing me to eat normally again! I love and keep it with me at all times!"

"Absolutely a life saving drug. I am a student in university and have had ongoing undiagnosable stomach problems for four years. I still miss a lot of school but with this drug, I can put weight on finally. Every now and again it flares up really bad and I will take 8 mg at a time. Otherwise, I take 4 mg about twice a day, once when I wake up and once after my midday meal. I rarely get the headaches because I take the tablets and not the ODTs. There's an artificial sugar in the ODT that supposedly causes the headaches. If a sudden bout of nausea occurs, it will go into effect in 30-45 mins for me."

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) "I had this in the hospital after a hysterectomy when I was vomiting from the anesthesia for 3 days afterward. It did absolutely nothing to stop my nausea. I was given it repeatedly even though I told them it was completely ineffective. I had both shots and pills."

Zofran (ondansetron) "I have hyperemesis gravidarum. Never have I experienced relief with Zofran, minimal, if at all. Constipation goes hand in hand with this drug and I'd rather have N&V all day than be as constipated as I am right now. You have to weigh your pros and cons with this drug, and it's not for me."

"I was prescribed this drug ondansetron for both kidney stone passing sickness and endometriosis sickness. It worked really well! I get nervous and that usually revolves in me feeling nauseous and it usually goes away within 5 minutes. I get car sick and was riding in the back of an ambulance facing backwards with kidney stone pain and I took one, it made me feel better instantly!"

"Currently pregnant with twins and this drug has worked very well for my morning sickness. Before I started taking this I was throwing up upwards of 10x/day, couldn’t keep any food down at all, lost ten pounds in a couple weeks, and was constantly miserable. I’ve taken this medication for almost 2 weeks now and it’s made me feel human again. I still have waves of nausea, but no throwing up, and no where near as bad as before. Very grateful (especially when I’m at work all day and am not running to the bathroom every hour)!"

Zofran (ondansetron) "I have easily upsettable IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and this has been a wonder medicine for me. Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I am so nauseous I can not function. The dissolvable tablet leaves me feeling better within a minute. It has also worked when I had the stomach bug. It is working wonderfully now with a depression medicine that I just started taking that has a side effect of nausea and vomiting. I was seconds away from throwing up and quickly popped one of these in my mouth... back to normal within thirty seconds! Zofran is a lifesaver!"

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) "The medicine saved my second pregnancy (with twins). It enabled me to eat normally most of the time although I did have a bit of nausea. There was no adverse effect on my twins - both are healthy 18 months later. Great drug."

Zofran (ondansetron) "Took Zofran for morning sickness, got a splitting migraine an hour later...bed ridden with it all day. Nausea was gone but I rather it then having a migraine. I do suffer migraines but this medication definitely triggered one for me."

"My teen daughter had the flu & was throwing up to the point of the dr possibly sending her to the ER for an iV even a sip of wAter caused her to vomit immediately. They decided to try this drug first...it is a miracle!!!! she was up walking around within 2 hrs & did not vomit again. She was even able to show her horses at the fair the next day tho drinking strictly pedialyte, Gatorade G2 & Powerade zero for electrolytes (we had to start liquids by waiting 1 Hr after she vomited, then 5-10 ml every 5-10 minutes... Added this as I feel it may be helpful to others). I am going to ask my Dr for a prescription for the future, I wish I knew about this a long time ago! I filled the prescription at Sam's club 5 pills about $4 & worth it"

"I have a condition called gastroparesis and for three years I was in bed for 3 to 5 days a week vomiting all day. I didn't have a life, it was slowly killing me. My doctor give me every kind of medicine to try with no relief. Then she give me Zofran and it was a miracle for me! I take 8 MG and I still will occasionally be nauseated, sometimes with vomiting but as of now it's been six weeks and then it was only for a few hours. If anyone has suffered from this it is horrible! I realize it may not work for everyone but I was totally at the end of my rope and this saved my life! I do have to take a laxative once in a while but I'd rather do that then living the way I was!"

Zofran (ondansetron) "I was given this drug by injection in the emergency room because I had a reaction to another drug. It stopped me from vomiting. However, since Imunetherapy I have become allergic to all nsaids, and several other drugs. One drug for a heart problem I take makes me vomit so they gave me this drug in pill form and well....I threw it up and, and tried again, and threw it up and this went on until I again went to the emergency room. An injection works but the pill works only before you become nauseated. I went to another medicine phenergan and that was a suppository which worked very well."

Zofran (ondansetron) "I have been nauseous due to either a medication I'm on or a stomach issue. I hesitated to take Zofran until I finally couldn't take the nausea anymore. Zofran worked so well for me! It actually kept me from going to the emergency room. It's a wonderful drug for nausea. Constipation is a side effect, but I'll take that over the nausea."

Zofran (ondansetron) "I find Zofran to be totally worthless regardless of format or strength. Not only does it not help but also, it causes constipation that greatly aggravates my existing nausea and abdominal pain even further. I am dealing with that now after a recent ER visit and regretting not having refused it."

Zofran (ondansetron) "It cost me $3 for six tablets with insurance. When I was vomiting every couple hours for a week and was prescribed Zofran, it reduced my vomiting to one or twice a day for the next two weeks as compared to every couple hours. It is now the third week I've been sick, and the drug works within an hour for me. There were a couple days my prescription ran out, and I started throwing up 10 times in a day again. Highly recommend"

"This medicine does NOT always help with the nausea feeling, especially when it comes from Hormone changes in women. I can say this because I have been nauseated for 2 months, and have been using this twice a day and no improvement."

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) "I’ve been using Zofran for a couple years after it was given to me in the hospital for nausea, following surgery. It has always worked beautifully in combatting those days when I or a friend have felt nauseated. But the last time I took one , in February, during the night when awakened by stomach pain and nausea, it actually made things worse by adding an immediate head ache, and extreme heart palpitations..that lasted a good half hour, with out helping my initial nausea at all. I’ve been afraid to use it ever since. Turns out I was experiencing a gallbladder attack, and I’m not certain that wasn’t the reason the Zofran failed. Today, I’m having one of those icky nauseated days, two doses of Emetrol have not helped, so I took a Zofran and cut it in half, yes, they are already small, but I was nervous. Im happy to report, it seems to have worked. Nausea is nearly gone now. No headache, no increased heart rate. I'm hoping Zofran is once more my friend."

Zofran (ondansetron) "This morning at about 1 am I was admitted to ER with uncontrollable vomiting. Literally within seconds of the Zofran injection, the nausea was gone, which says a lot because I was actively vomiting when the injection was given. God bless the men and women who developed this drug. It truly is a miracle."

"This is a fantastic medication. I was admitted to the hospital for nausea/vomiting due to the flu. Hadn't eaten a thing in 5 days. They gave me Zofran 4mg at the hospital, my nausea and urge to vomit went away in about an hour, and my appetite came back later that night. I continued to take 4mg as per required, generally before I ate to make sure it didn't come back up. Was able to come off it without any adverse effects. I highly recommend this medication! A potential life saver."

Zofran (ondansetron) "This drug has saved my life at least once. I took it when I was pregnant and had unrelenting morning sickness that wasn't helped by any other medications. I'm now taking it again for nausea caused by severe pain (as well as the nausea caused in turn by pain medications, as I seemingly can't win on that one). But perhaps most importantly, it was the only drug that got me out of opiate withdrawal when I had the stomach flu. Without this, I would have been in the hospital because I couldn't otherwise keep anything down and without opiate therapy the withdrawal and the pain combined could easily have killed me. The only possible drawback is cost; even the generic would be completely out of reach for someone without insurance."

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) "I feel like I've been sick for a very long time. It began around early February. I started feeling tired and nauseous. I had other symptoms, but the nausea was the worst. It just got worse and more frequent. My mother talked me into going in and I was diagnosed with "migraine with aura" about a month ago. I don't feel like migraines have anything to do with the nausea, but that's all I have to go on for now. The nausea comes in waves and I've had to stop doing schoolwork because of it. I was hoping the zofran would help, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I still wake up at night because I'm so nauseous, and it never seems to end."

"Love, love, love Zofran. I took it my entire pregnancy (after losing 41 pounds from constant vomiting) & now my baby is 5 months old with absolutely no health problems. These lawsuits going on scared me, but for no reason obviously bc my lil man is in great health. I get nauseated from time to time and take one of my old pills and I'm good as new! Would recommend this to everyone!!!"

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) "I was rxed the ODT for extreme nausea and vomiting, due to a norovirus. The minty flavor really drove me over the edge, and only made matters worse. Then my doc gave me the regular tablets that you swallow with a tiny bit of water, but it didn't help at all, either. I remember being awed by the knowledge that they give this med to sick cancer patients, when it is so horribly ineffective. Evidently, it does work like gangbusters for some people, but I'm not one of them."
