Nausea is a common side effect of cancer treatment. Learn how to help prevent nausea by viewing this Mayo Clinic video or reading through the steps below to reduce your risk.
These self-care measures may help you prevent nausea and vomiting, but they can't take the place of anti-nausea medications. If you begin to feel nauseated despite the medications, call your doctor.
We would love to learn what has worked for you and invite you to share.

The gold standard, in my opinion, for eliminating nausea is Zofran. I have probably felt nauseas 300 times, and all 300 times, Zofran quickly eliminated the nausea and I never threw up. I don't know if it's safe for women who are pregnant, but I'm a male. I can't say enough about Zofran, also known as Ondansetron. You put it on your tongue, and without drinking any fluid, just swallow it.
