I absolutley lived on it for the 27 weeks of my pg with DS1 and 15 weeks with DS2. I wouldn't have been able to function without it. I had no problems with it and both of my sons came out absolutely perfect (even if I say so myself, LOL!!! ).
I'm taking it now, I take 8mgs Ondansetron (Zofran) and 12.5mgs of Doxylamine Succinate (Restavit) in the morning before I get up (makes getting up easier), 4mgs Zofran and 12.5mgs Restavit late afternoon. I take a whole Restavit 25mgs before bed. It is helping a lot!! I am 10 weeks now, by the time I was 7 weeks I had lost 6kgs all weight loss has stopped since this dosage started. Maxolon didn't help me.
I also took Zofran in my last pg, but not as much.I actually came into BB tonight looking for the HG support thread and saw this one first. Can anyone link me to the thread?
It technically a drug usually used for patients undergoing cancer treatment, but... It's been classed as a category B drug by the FDA which means that although it hasn't been specifically tested on pregnant woman, it's believed to be safe due to the results on pregnant animals. Category A is the safest, then there is B, C, D and X. In comparison, panadol is category A, Sudafed is category C, and nurofen is category C before 30 weeks, and D after 30 weeks.
Only you can be the true judge of how you feel, how sick you are, and whether you think the possible risk of taking the zofran outweighs the risk to the baby based on how sick you are.
Thanks for the advice ladies, for some reason my morning sickness seems to have eased with the help of the Blackmores tablets. Ive managed to eat 2 days worth of meals which is amazing. So hopefully can avoid the zofran all together.....................but I wont count my chickens yet lol
