I thought I couldn't go on without it, but since hearing the side affects and law suit info I have stopped. I realized that alot of my nausea was due to acid reflux and started taking zantac (ranitidine) regularly and am doing much better!

I have had to take it this entire pregnancy. Sometimes 9 times a day. Now I take it a few times a week if I absolutely cannot deal without it and by that I mean throwing every single thing up. I am scared bc of the recall on it though that's the main reason I cut back on it a lot

I take promethazine. However I am not a fan of the side effect that causes me to be very sleepy. It does work wonders though, I only take it when absolutely necessary. I've taken Zofran a few times with all three pregnancies.

I took zofran throughout my entire pregnancy. My son that is presently 16 years old was born with cleft of lip and soft palate and also had a heart murmor for the first year of his life. Genetic testing was performed in new orleans la to determine if the cleft was a hereditary case. Test results revealed that my sons case was said to be an isolated case meaning that he was not born with this birth defect from hereditary reasons. For many years i have struggled with the mental issue of what did i do to cause this to my child? Now, i strongly feel that i have finally got an answer!!! ZOFRAN CAUSES CLEFT LIP, CLEFT PALATE AND HEART DEFECTS!!!! I WISH TO GOD SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME BECAUSE I COULD HAVE PREVENTED MY SON FROM BEING BORN WITH ALL THREE OF THE KNOWN BIRTH DEFECTS CAUSED FROM TAKING ZOFRAN.

I took 8 mg every 8 hours round the clock for my whole first trimester. I was sick as a dog. Finally at about 14 weeks I was taking it like every other day maybe, and the. By 16 weeks I didn't need it anymore. I'm now 35 weeks at 5 days and haven't needed it at all. Just lots and lots of tums.

I had to take it every 6 hours from 10 weeks up until about 22 weeks, then just once a day was fine. I am now 38 weeks and take it only as needed.
