Sickness

My husband is having extreme nausea and struggling even to keep liquids down after his first cycle of chemotherapy. He is back at the hospital now who will administer fluids but what anti-sickness can be provided for his next cycle. The one they gave him didn’t work. Also suggested some of it might be reflux but not sure how this happens and what we can do about it

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Acid reflux can happen as a side effect, and the doctors prescribe antacid medication, usually tablets/liquid that can help with this.

    There are a number of different anti sickness drugs that can be used, some in combination, and the hospital team will be reviewing this I expect.

    We have information on our website about anti sickness medicines

    I hope that this reply helps,

    Best wishes,
