1st Trimester

Another Zofran question...

Do you ladies find that if you take only 1 a day it seems to last that long? I took one last night...since then I have not felt nausea too bad. I did throw up my lunch, but I would much rather just throw it up versus feeling like throwing up all day! I am wondering if the effect truly last that long...24 hours?!

Re: Another Zofran question...

  • I think it lasts around 12 hours for me....

  • I have had bad nausea. I take one Zofran usually in the morning and I was doing ok with just that. I have started feeling worse in the afternoon though at 10 weeks pregnant. Some days I take 2. I HATE feeling nauseated... Nothing seems worse than that and it follows me around all day.

  • I was feeling waaaaay worse earlier this week and last week and then it seems since I took my first pill on Wed and my second last night I have felt much better! I know I am worrying (bc that is what I do best), but I am just hoping that I am feeling better bc of the zofran and not bc something is going wrong with the babes after having a semi-good/bad first u/s this afternoon.

  • It goes back & forth for me.  Sometimes it lasts 7, sometimes 12.  I only take a half a dose, though.  I take one when I wake up, and one 8 hours later, then that will usually get me through until bedtime.

  • I was taking it every 6 hours, but now I'm down to twice per day. I can usually make it from about 9am - 5-6 pm and that gets me through the day.

  • Mine won't last the whole day.  I take one when I get up in the morning and then another 8 hours later.  My nausea/vomiting lasts all day, but is worse in the evenings, so I can't make it without taking another one.  I also take Phenergen before going to bed.

  • Oh my goodness I wish my Zofran was working that well! I take three a day.. morning, noon, and evening. The only thing that has changed is no vomiting. I still feel like throwing up non-stop. I haven't taken one yet this morning, I'm trying to last long enough to see if it is even helping me. I guess now I'm wondering if I misunderstood my doc and the pills are supposed to last a long period of time? Hmm... this may render a phone call. 

    p.s. I'm also taking Omeprazole (acid reducer) right away in the morning, before food. I wasn't give a full reason why and haven't felt any different yet. Good luck to everyone suffering terrible morning sickness, I'm trying to see the light but some days it gets tough! Hang in there!

  • My MIL is a nurse and she says that the half life for Zofran is about 6 hours. I started out taking one twice a day, every 8 hours. It starts to wear off between 6-8 hours for me. However, I have been feeling a little better this past week so I have only had to take one each morning when my ms is worst. So, I am sure that one pill does not remain in your system for 24 hours, you just might not need it all the time.

  • I usually take it first thing in the morning and it used to last all day, but I've noticed within the past week it wears off around 8 or so. I try to tough it out with crackers and water or sprite until bed but sometimes I break down and take another.
  • I take mine when I wake up and usually by dinner time I get my appetite back but I only take it once a day and then repeat the next morning..

  • I took my 1st one Thursday afternoon about 5:30 and yesterday I felt absolutely great and pretty much had an appetite all day.  I thought something was wrong too, but this morning before I got out of bed I felt the nausea so I took another one and I have been ok all day.  Just very mild waves of nausea but nothing I can't handle.  I'm hoping I can continue with one a day!

  • The Zofran is so weird! I love it, just totally different for everyone! :p I take one mid afternoon everyday, but I am stll throwing-up every normal-sized meal. I just don't feel the nausea as much anymore!
