Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I hope so. I have RA and am on Orencia monthly infusion with added weekly methtrexate. I am constantly nauseated and am tired of being sick. Is there something I can add to the orencia other than methotrexate? Thanking you in advance. YYYY@YYYY
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms seem to be related to a side effect of methotrexae. It can cause fatigue,nausea and vomiting. If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor about an alternative medication. Meanwhile you can take Reglan 10 mg three times a day to relief the nausea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
