Is Prochlorperazine The Right Medicine For Nausea And Vomiting?
What is a good nausea/vomiting medication for chemo, I am going thru chemo my first treatment was on 02/14 and my doctor has prescribed me prochlorperazine to treat nausea/vomiting, however, reading at the reviews I am seeing that all people that have taken this prescription has had a severe side effect.
Hello, Thanks for the query. Prochlorperazine is fairly often used to prevent post chemotherapy nausea. It is usually well tolerated. Other drug most often used is Ondansetron 4 mg tablets or injections in severe vomiting and nausea. It is a fairly safe and well tolerated compound. Thanks.
