Nausea

AudgePaudge · May 2010

How sick to you have to be to get a prescription of Zofran? What if you're nauseous but don't actually throw up?

I would imagine it depends on your doctor. I have Zofran, but got it from my neurologist. I take it because my migraines give me nausea. I don't usually throw up, but the zofran really, really helps calm my nausea and I bet it will probably give me similar relief from m/s if/when that comes around.

I'm sure it is safe if they prescribe it to pregnant women, but I wouldn't take anything I didn't desperately need. If you aren't throwing up, the nausea isn't dangerous, just uncomfortable. I thought those prescriptions were for women who were so sick they became dehydrated and malnourished. I could be wrong, just seems like if you aren't actually throwing up you don't really need it. But, obviously, talk to your doc. Hope you feel better!
