Sorry for your mother's bad reactions to vidaza. Is she taking anti-nausea medication prior to treatment? What worked for me is 4mg of Zofran (ondansetron) 1 hour before my injections. The zofran is in pill form. I tried a different drug a couple of times because the Zofran is constipating but both times ended up vomiting. I went back to Zofran after that. They can be taken every 8 hours as needed. It's important to get the first dose in about an hour before the vidaza treatment.
