Nausea/Vomiting
Nausea is a common side effect of both I.V. sedation and taking medications
orally, especially pain medications. The incidence of nausea is reduced
by taking medications with food, or with a cup of warm water. If you still
experience nausea in spite of all precautions taken, immediately stop
taking all medications. Also, stop all food and liquids until nausea has
resolved, then take the anti-nausea medication that you have been prescribed
and continue nothing by mouth until this medication begins working. After
nausea has completely subsided, you may resume food, liquids and medications.
If nausea persists for more than 8 hours contact Dr. Roberts.
