  • Hello Alfie123,

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband is having trouble keeping his food down. If he's not already, it may good for him to try eating little and often, rather than trying to eat three main meals. These side effects vary from person to person, so it's probably best to ask your doctor what they could recommend. I hope this gets better.

    All the best,
