Is Zofran An Effective Medication For Abdominal Pain?
Question: My niece is taking Zofran for abdominal pain. Is that a good medicine
Brief Answer:
Please give details and post actual reports.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit very short.
To recapitulate: Female/33 - noted the medical history of feeding tube - GB stones - GB removal - taking Zofran and Priloset/c 40 - none working.
Zofran is a medicine given for nausea and vomiting and hence will not have any action on pain in abdomen.
Priloset/Prilosec is Omeprazole and control acidity only - so no action on pain in abdomen.
Please give details about:
When was she operated for gall bladder.
What is the detailed history? Is the pain present since gall bladder surgery?
Any bloating, nausea, vomiting, constipation or loose stools, jaundice and so on?
Post the investigations.

She doesn't live with me. I will call her tomorrow and get back to you on those questions. I do know she has been in the hospital several time for this. They want her to see a specialist. But she still don't have an appointment yet. She has an appointment in April to see her Doctor to get her referral but what good is for her now? She is in agonizing pain every day.
Brief Answer:
Awaited more feedback - tell her to go to ER for basic investigations
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
She can certainly consult her Doctor and insist for basic investigations to know the causative factors.
Please tell her to Visit ER so that some investigation can lead to a probable cause which in turn can lead to a plan for cure.
Awaiting for further feedback.
