Nausea

Hi Roger,
You know many patients don't need very effective drugs that prevent nausea when they get Vidaza in the doses as they give today. There are other types of chemo that gives nausea in 90% of the patients.

As far as I understand women, patients less than 50 yo, patients who never drink alcohol, patients who easily get nausea in boats etcetera will feel nausea more often than other patients. In any case we won't have drugs that give us other problematic adverse reactions like akathisia.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
