Re: Nausea: medication side effects

My dr. prescribed Regaln for nausea, it really helps.

I believe you can purchase Coca Cola syrup at the pharmacy or online. (Old fashioned "cure"). It contains cane sugar, tho.

You are correct about Reglan-it helps empty stomach and can work if conventional meds not effective.The only drawback I remember was some people do get diarrhea. But ask MD to consider it as part of your treatment. I was an RN for 40 yrs in hospital and this is my opinion. Good luck

Did your friend ask her/his doctor for nausea patches? There are also a number of medications that help but they require prescriptions.

Zofran has always worked for me.

I was given several different drugs. Perhaps a trip to the doctor for a review is in order? A drastic weight loss could also be a concern.

All my best, this is a hard one ❤️

I use Emetrol syrup, available at CVS, Walgreens, or any pharmacy. It stopped my nausea instantly where Zofran did not. Best of luck and hugs to your friend.

Exactly!!! @feline groovy Love the ginger for (chemo) nausea and indigestion. My husband does ginger and it works every time for him (from chemo).

Most nights just because, after dinner I'll have a piece of ginger. Nothing better!

I am on very strong chemo and suffer constant nausea and had absolutley no appetite whatsoever and lost a significant amount of weight. For many months, my doctors encouraged me to try medical marijuana and I was extremely reluctant and was not interested. It was later determined that I would need a feeding tube which I did not want and only then agreed to try medical marijuana. I have never smoked and don't intend to start doing so now and learned it is available in edible form. I am still in shock at the difference it has made to my quality of life and reget not having started sooner. The nausea is all but eliminated (I still occasionally take Zofran/Compazine) and I gained 22 pounds and feel so much better. I once again enjoy eating and no longer view it as a chore - as far as I am concerned, it is a miracle drug. For those who say that marijuana has no medicinal properties are just ignorant and have not reviewed the sceintific literature.
