Brief Answer:
Same dosage should not be causing nausea.

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxx,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

I would suggest you to look out if some other factors may be the associated cause of nausea in your case because changing same dose(600 mg) from capsule to tablet,should not be causing nausea.

However,if you think that there is a very strong causal relation between the two,I would suggest you to start taking the capsule formulation you were taking previously.

If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
