I lost 26 pounds in my first trimester due to morning sickness..I would throw up everything even water.. I was 150 before pregnancy got down to 123..Zofran worked great I just took something for constipation and then I was fine...without it I was miserable..I'm now 36 weeks and I weigh 148 baby is over 5 pounds.. don't scare this mom with that non sense about that lawsuit.. I believe God takes care of his people and that's that..

Amazing little pill. However the Dr gave me the kind you swallow with water 8 mg.... didn't work! Ask for the 4 mg dissolving tablets. If nurse argues that insurance may not cover it, this isn't true lol I told her then I will,pay out of pocket I have to have it. Insurance covered it tho. I feel like I got my life back.

If you do your research and don't just believe what you see on a commercial you'll know that zoferan lawsuit is bull. Zoferan was prescribed to me and I 100% believe it saved my pregnancy. I had terrible morning sickness and was losing weight.

The zofran lawsuit is not backed by the FDA. My doctor is not worried and it's been used in pregnancies for years. If you are worried, you can call your local pregnancy hotline. Zofran is the only thing keeping me eating and drinking while pregnant. I ended up in the ER without it. LOVE IT!

I was on zofran and Phenergan atvthe same time with my first. I had to get IVs because i couldn't even drink water. I lost 13 pounds even though i was on prednisone. You should never lose weight while on prednisone. My son came out perfect so I wouldn't be worried. This time around I have been able to eat and drink, although I haven't gained any weight yet and i'm 12 weeks. My doctor said not to be worried tho.

Zofran and pheneragan were the only thing that helped me from week 6 on (im 21 weeks now) because i was also diagnosed with hyperemesis Gravidvarium. I have seen the commercials, but every ultrasound I have had shows my baby boy growing healthy with no issues.

I recently saw a commercial that talked about a correlation between zofran and babies born with cleft lip, heart deformations etc. It made me nervous bc I'd never heard this before and I took it during my first trimester. So my advice is to use it only when needed. And besides birth defects (which I'm not 100% sold on) it can cause constipation which can lead to hemorrhoids, so use sparingly.

I was on it with my first pregnancy and it is amazing! I am 7 weeks now and at this rate I will be on it for this pregnancy as well. My daughter was just fine and I had no complications with it at all :)

I am from South Africa and lost my baby due to Hyperemesis and lack of medical attendance as the condition here is not heard of!  Me and hubby would like to try for another baby, but I am so scared! I really want a baby... Want it to better this time.  Where and how can I purchase a Zofran Pump?

I'm 14 weeks, and have taken zofran since 5 weeks. I still have days where I feel awful, but the zofran helps take the edge off. The last few days I've been depending on it again. I was hoping the nausea would subside by now. But it hasn't. Bummer.

Worked great for me 1st pregnancy except of course constipation. Second pregnancy didn't worn at all. Phenegren helped but I hated taking it. So once the extreme nausea abated a bit I stopped.

I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis at 6 weeks pregnant (chronic nausea and vomiting). I lost 32 pounds in my first trimester and did not eat my first real meal until I was 16 weeks. Zofran saved my life!!!! The pills didn't work because I would throw them up so I have a Zofran pump that pumps Zofran into my stomach 24 hours a day! The doctor also has me on Reglan too; which pretty much does the same thing as Reglan. Although I am 38 weeks and have taken Zofran non stop for 32 of those weeks, it was Heaven sent! Zofran was the only thing that helped me live through this pregnancy...SERIOUSLY!

I tried other meds and they didn't work that well all it would do would put me to sleep most of the day. I got tired of that but the zofran works awesome.
