Could Zofran Intake Leading To Extreme Vomiting During Pregnancy Have Caused Any Concern?

Posted on Mon, 20 Dec 2021

Question: Hi Dr. Diptanshu XXXXXXX

One last concern for my childrens neurologic issues. Sorry I didn't phrase question correctly.

While I was pregnant I was given Zofran which caused me extreme vomiting. Can this have caused any concerns because in a holistic venue then they made be able to help the children?

Can the chest CT scan or 2-3 chest x-rays have caused a problem while pregnant?

thank you

Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Let me try to answer your queries one by one:
* Zofran (Ondansetron) does not cause vomiting. It takes care of vomiting. If you had vomiting while on Zofran, it means that your vomiting was inadequately controlled. Vomiting during pregnancy is very frequently encountered. The vomiting or Zofran are unlikely to cause any problems in the children.
* A few chest X rays or CT scan are unlikely to cause any significant damage in the fetus.

Feel free to write back. I am glad that I could your queries to your satisfaction last time.

Regards
