Zofer 4 MG Injection Health Feed

Asked for male, 35 years old from Bangalore

Hi, My wife is 7-8 weeks pregnant and is very skinny (weighs approx 35 kilos). She has nausea and has been vomiting. She is unable to eat any solid or liquid food and is constantly vomiting every intake. After a visit at doctor she was prescribed folic acid as vitamin pills and emeset-4 mg (Ondansetron) for vomiting. Is it safe to take the emeset tablet. Will it have any immediate or after effects on the fetus? Thankyou.

Emeset syrup should be given before food in recommended dose and the age of the child need to be told . Ideally should not be given for children less than one year and for possetting which people think as vomiting

Hb1ac serum creatinine levels required. Inj tramadol causes voming so emeset injection given before tramadol. Vomiting stopping medicine is missing in treatment.

I do not advice to take any medicine during the 1st trimester. your vomiting n nausea is because of smell which is very common in the 1st trim. Change your environment and everything would be fine.
