Pregnancy Info HOME

I see these posts are old, but I must add- I was given zofran in 2003 with my first child. I took the pills daily from 15 weeks to the day I gave birth to her. Sometimes I only needed 4mg, but often I needed 8mg. She seems to have no defects whatsoever that can be attributed to the drug. I felt zero side effects while taking it. I have been prescribed the pills again for my current pregnancy, but my insurance will not cover them AT ALL!! I have 24 doses from a friend who also took zofran during her pregnancy. When they are gone I have no idea what I'll do. My doctor says there are other, less effective drugs to take for nasea. We'll see how well the work or if the Kaiser Permanente formulary will cover those either. (Kaiser has not covered ANY of the prescriptions my doctor has written for me for this pregnancy. No terazol, no prenatals, no zofran). I wish we could switch to a different provider! But for now I am stuck and naseated by and with Kaiser. (Bitter at the moment, Kaiser's been alright up until I became pregnant. Oh, not to mention if I use a Kaiser doctor I have to deliver 45 minutes from my house with about a dozen hospitals in between- I had to go to a quasi out of network doctor approved by Kaiser in order to prevent having the baby in an ambulance on my way to the approved hospital!!! ...but I'm ranting....)
