Did your doctor/insurance limit the number of zofran pills you got?

I was told by the pharmacy I could only receive 30 pills total in 19 days. This seems odd because you are supposed to take the pills 3x daily, which means you would run out of pills by Day 10.

Was wondering if anyone else had the same thing happen to them...

I was on Phenergan and was to take 12mg. The lowest dose available was 25mg so I had to cut the pills in half. My prescription was written to take 1/2 to a whole pill 1 - 2 times a day. I had 30 pills in a bottle

This is completely common. Almost every insurance I have dealt with limits Zofran.
You can talk to your OB and they can try to get you a prior auth for more pills per month.

mine was limited too, and I still at 19 weeks have very bad m/s, but I don't take 3 a day, usually not even 2 a day. I was told to only take it when feeling very nauseous
