Hi! I've been MIA through the holidays because of so much going on. They were good but just had a million things to get done. Missed you ladies!!!!
Anyway, I officially have the flu (thanks FIL-he thought it was only a sinus infection until after we left). Dr. Did give me Zofran so how long does it take to work? I have kept anything down in 24 hours.
As for zofran, the first dose took about 30-60 minutes to mostly kick in. I felt normal about 3 hours later (I was on the twice a day zofran that you swallow, not the every 4 hour dissolving one). As long as I took it in the morning when I woke up, I would feel fine the rest of the day.
Hopefully it works for you! I've been on it for both pregnancies that stuff is amazing
I took it around the clock when I had Norovirus with my last pregnancy so I could stay hydrated. Like hpnegirl says, it starts working within the hour and works for up to 6h. Fair warning, taking it that often can make pregnancy constiaption wasaaay worse!

For most people, it kicks in very quickly. I am a special snowflake in that it doesn't help much unless I take it before I'm super-sick. Phenergan works much better for me if I have a stomach virus. I hope you feel better soon!
jmcbick do you know which zofran you were on? Mine I had to swallow and worked for about 12 hours, but with DS1, I was on a dissolving one that only lasted 4-6 hours max
loubug the constipation happens pretty quick and it can get pretty severe so be on guard for that..

Thanks for the heads up. I've the dissolving ones that are 4mg. Seems to be working so far but I've only tried Gatorade. Ready for food but not sure I want to try yet.

I had the dissolving that go around! Could take them up to q6hours but would definitely start to wear off around 4
