Nausea

Hi Starz,
Here is an article about nausea. As far as I understand Nick should ask for
a combination of (1) a 5-HT3 antagonist like Aloxi, (2) dexamethasone and (3) aprepitant (Emend).

If that isn't enough he could take metoclopramid (Primperan) and Temesta (a sedativum) too.

Then you have all these advices about small meals often, cold food without much smell, not giving him his favorite food because then he perhaps will hate that food for the rest of his life and so on.

Hope Nick will manage!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
