Zolfran?

Question

My doc prescribed me with this for the morning sickness. Is this safe for baby?

Answer

I took it daily with all four of my pregnancies... I have all healthy babies

Answer

I was in it with my last pregnancy for 3 of the early months. And she's perfectly healthy. I'm on it again for this one.. Only time I ever heard it wasn't safe was on here. I asked my doc repeatedly and the pharmacist if t was safe and they both said yes.

Answer

It's actually not approved by the FDA for use in pregnancy. Doctors prescribed off label (which means not approved). And like another poster mentioned it can carry risks of congenital (heart) defects and also cleft palate or lip in the baby and it carries neurological risks to the mother.

Answer

Read a recent study showing that woman who filled a prescription during their first trimester for zofran over the last 10 or so years were twice as likely to have a child with congenital heart defects and cleft palate. There were also complications implicated for the mother when combined with an ssri. For this reason I've been scared to take mine and throwing up at least 5 days a week ?

Answer

Yes or else doctor wouldn't give it to u

Answer

Taking zofran as prescribed in pregnancy is perfectly okay. Many pregnant moms out there take it to help ease the morning sickness.

Answer

My mother in law is an OB nurse and said ONLY if your nausea is so debilitating you can't function at all. Otherwise it's really not a good idea. Everything is a risk.

Answer

Sort of. It's in the class B, and the only morning sickness drug in class A (completely safe) is diclegis. That being said, I'm taking zofran a little bit because lordy, morning sickness sucks.

Answer

Diclectin is safer and has no effects to baby where as there are some studies of known effects to baby with zofran
