  Congenital Cardiac Malfunctions & Oral Clefts are the possible birth defects associated.

  I looked on the FDA website & couldn't find anything relating to birth defects. I called my mom & she found out from one of her Co - workers.
  
  She was going to research it further & said she would let me know if anything else turns up.

  People really need to stop posting this kind of unverified, panic creating BS.   Hopefully this hasn't been given out to any of her patients.  @Snuff9861, can you create a gif for bad "research"??

  @Eltrain5: She is moving & currently does not have any patients. She received a text from her Co - worker & called me to see if I was taking it. So that I could speak to my OB.
  
  Like I said she will be doing further research/ investigation on the subject. And would do so before giving any info to patients.
  
  I was not trying to post some random BS, I looked it up found that article & thought others may want to know.

  I understand, but you have to realize that posting a link to an article that says zofran has been linked to horrible birth defects, when it hasn't (at least not by the FDA as that article suggests), on a forum full of pregnant ladies taking that medication, is a lot like screaming fire in a crowded room. It's just irresponsible. I understand it was not your intention to mislead.

  I would assume that people would do research or contact their medical provider if they were taking it.
  
  I did not have the time to do any extensive research. I saw this posted on a few websites. If I were taking it & someone may have had some info I would rather hear about it than not even if it turned out to be bogus.

  Clicking on the link in the article is hardly "extensive research".

  Also, I didn't respond to you for the purpose of being argumentative. This seriously upset me and for good reason. The context within which you posted had the definite potential to cause a lot of needless stress and anxiety to the people on the board taking the medication. And sure, they could click on the link in the article and see that it's bullshit, but if you hadn't posted it in the first place they wouldn't have to.

  I never said I did extensive research, to the contrary actually. I am not going to argue, I feel I did nothing wrong & after our posting still do not.
  
  I do however see your side & respect your
  opinion as your right to give it. I apologize if i did upset you.

  You said you didn't have time to do extensive research. You can keep defending it all you want, and nobody is arguing with you. I've stated why I believe what you posted was irresponsible at best and you can accept that or not. Either way it doesn't change the facts.
