Zofran
I saw a commercial today saying that if you were pregnant and took zofran that you and your child could get a financial compensation. The Zofran caused the baby to get cleft pallet. Has anyone heard of any issues with zofran?? I was on that for the longest time for my sickness!
Yes, I have. My dr. Wouldn't prescribe it to me in my 1st trimester. He did once I entered my second and am still sick. He told me that it has been linked to cleft palets if taken in the 1 st trimester.
Ya those TV ads are all spammy. It's always some med or another. Don't be alarmed :)
It was a tiny study. Larger studies have since disproved it. Some shady attorneys are always looking to make a buck.
Yes zofran can cause cleft pallet or cleft lip if your child was born with one or the other you definitely could be getting paid the zofran is what caused it...
It really didn't help me at all either and it made me constipated too. I was on it 24 hrs a day due to how sick I was. The commercial took me by surprise. My dr is real good about prescribing medicines but I will be asking her about this on Tuesday when I see her.
There are a lot of doctors who no longer prescribe it for pregnant women because of many complications and issues.
My Dr prescribed zofran for me, but I took it o ly twice cuz it's mainly for nausea for cancer patients, not pregnant women. It was advised back in 2013 or earlier this year that pregnant women shouldn't take it. I figured better safe than sorry so I chose not to take after the two times. not much research has been done on it and I didn't want to risk it with my baby.
I took it for five months and the only thing it did was make me super constipated! It helped with the sickness a little so I kept talking it.but my baby is healthy and fine!
Nope, never heard of this. I was scared to take anything & doc reassured me that zofran was fine. Had IV & pills. With my first I had the dissolving pills. Can I be compensated for the horrible constipation? That was major!
