It is often prescribed for severe morning sickness, but make sure to buy only what the doctor prescribes. Don't stock up on big strips in advance, as your nausea might settle down in a few weeks and save you some money.

My wife was prescribed ondansetron for severe vomiting in her first trimester, which helped her stay hydrated. Once her nausea settled, light morning walks really helped her digestion. Always check with your gynaecologist before taking it.

While ondansetron is commonly used for pregnancy nausea, you should never self-medicate with it. There are specific guidelines about when it is safest to take during the trimester. Please consult your gynaecologist for safety.

My wife had terrible morning sickness and couldn't even drink water. Her doctor prescribed ondansetron and it was a lifesaver for her. Just go to your doctor and get the right prescription instead of suffering.

In our days, we used ginger or a small piece of amla to stop vomiting. If your nausea is very bad and you can't keep food down, then doctor's medicine like ondansetron is necessary. Please ask your lady doctor before taking it.
