anti nausea meds

[mama4zach]

Hello Everyone, With all the people on here who are or have received chemo, what anti nausea medicine worked for you. As for me, NOTHING WORKED............ I just wished we could at least find comfort from that.

Please let me know if you have any meds that worked.

Love and Prayers,

Nancy

Oh, Nancy.

I am so sorry that you are suffering. Zofran worked for me. Have you tired that one?

They now make a sublingual version that doesn't end up in the porcelain bowl if you get my drift.

Hi Nancy,

Zofran ODT 8mg It's by GlaxoSmithKline. You put in on the tip of your

tongue and it disolves in a few seconds. It worked great for me. Good

luck.

Hi Nancy,

I had Kytril in my premeds and also samples from my onc. This med is

quite expensive.I was given a prescription for

Compazine too, but never tried them. Hope you feel better...

Good Luck

God Bless and prayers,

Karen

Hi Nancy, Zofran worked for me, Kytril didn't. I hope you find something - you shouldn't have to be sick.

God Bless,

Zofran here- 8 mgs. And with a nighttime Ativan (anti anxiety AND anti nausea) just on chemo nights.....I did just fine!

My wife took Zofran at first but it did not help much. She took Promethazine, which did work but also made her drowsy. Another way to help counter nausea is to eat a small snack every 2-3 hours to keep something on your stomach. That really helped Lucie. Don

My mom had exactly the same responce to Zofran as Lucie, and she too found help with Promethizine. Mom preferred the drowsy to the naseau.

Hope you find something that works for you, and brings you some relief quickly

God Bless

Zofran worked for me - Thank Goodness, nausea is one of the things about this illness I cannot deal with.

Good Luck!

My mom used zofran and protonix

Since I had problems with my vocal cords after surgery, I had a major bout of vomitting before chemo even started (was hospitalized for 5 days)so once chemo started they gave me tons of different antinausea drugs,

Zofran 8 mg

dexamethason 4mg

Compazine (Prochlorper) 10mg

Promethazine 25mg

I know it sounds like alot......but I started with Zofran and then added others if any problems arose and kinda worked down the list. I was nauseated 1 time once throughout treatment and that was quickly remedied by the drugs.

Good luck to you,

Wendy
