Prochlorperazine vs Zofran
 | Prochlorperazine |  | Zofran |  |
| This medication is used to treat severe nausea and vomiting from certain causes (for example, after surgery or cancer treatment). Prochlorperazine belongs to a class of drugs known as phenothiazines. This medication is not recommended for use in children younger than 2 years or in children going through surgery. | Zofran is used alone or with other medications to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer drug treatment (chemotherapy) and radiation therapy. It is also used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting after surgery. It works by blocking one of the body's natural substances (serotonin) that causes vomiting. | |||

| Add Prochlorperazine review I was given a prescription for prochlorperazine to control nausea and vomiting in conjunction with migraine headaches. The medication was effective very quickly, although I did experience some side effects, among them including dizziness, vertigo, slurred speech, and lethargy. It did treat my nausea very well, but the only time I'm able to use it is when I'm planning to be at home, since driving is impossible feeling the way it makes me feel. My daughter had a very serious reaction to this medicine. She had seizure like fainting, he tongue would start by getting hot felling. She would then loose control of her mouth muscles, then it would go down to her neck and back. She would then pass out with her eyes rolling behind her head. It is very painful and scarry for her and anyone around her. She hasnt had the med for four days now, and she is still have these side effects. The doctors dont even know how long they will last. I would watch anybody on this med very close. | Add Zofran review https://www.facebook.com/Mothersagainstzofran?ref =hl This is my third pregnancy, I am about 9 weeks, and I had severe morning sickness with all three but this is the first time I looked for something to help me with it because this is the first time I have had a job while pregnant. After the first dose I felt 80% better. Slight nausea here and there but no urge to vomit anymore. I have only taken two doses so tomorrow morning will be the ultimate te ... I have taken Zofran with all 3 of my pregnancies. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and was diagnosed last week with full-blown Hyperemesis. I am on a higher dosage this time (8mg 3-4 times a day, rather than 4mg), and I am taking the orally dissolving tablets rather than the kind you swallow. It is working well so far, but I am also having headaches as a side effect, and constipation. ... I'm having terrible constipation. I've been taking stool softeners for 2 weeks. | |||
