No more zophran?!

Question

So I was told zofran is no longer safe during pregnancy ... well guess I should sue considering I took it my whole pregnancy with my son :/ and he now has kidney issues... 
Either way I have a huge fear of puking and they gave me these pills to take at night before bedtime? How the hell is this suppose to help me all day when I get it randomly? I’m super upset 
It’s called diclegis 
Any thoughts?

Answer

Diclegis is unisom (doxylamine) and b6 (pyridoxine) but prescription strength.

Answer

Diclegis is actually very helpful for a lot of people you can take up to 2 at bedtime, one in the morning and one midday. It actually had knocked out my nausea all together. 
As for Zofran, it goes back and forth constantly on if its safe. Currently, as far as my research shows, it’s considered safe and all of the claims that it causes birth defects have been disproven. However, my doctor still won’t prescribe it and I wouldn’t take it.

Answer

Diclegis wasn’t covered by my insurance and was 500$ for 20 pills so my dr said just take unisom and B6 which didn’t work bc I have hypermesis... but anyway. I took 2 4mg zofran literally every day with my daughter and she’s healthy as a horse now she’s 2 years old. So I’m taking zofran this time around as well bc it’s literally the only thing that helps.

Answer

Zofran has only had 2 clinical tests done on it, however it is a b category drug. Doctors will use it in severe cases if all the a category drugs don't work. I'm on zofran now and its helped me to keep down fluids, if it weren't for zofran, I would be admitted to the hospital with a constant if drip. Its totally your call if you think you really need it. Also gravol is safe in pregnancy so maybe that's something you could try instead.

Answer

I’m taking diclegis (diclectin here in Canada) and it seems to help somewhat. It’s worth a shot 💜
