When Does One Typically Start & Stop Taking Anti-Nausea Medications?
Typically, anti-nausea medications only need to be taken during the initial days of post-op when nausea is more likely to occur. The anesthesia that has been administered during the surgery generally stay in your body anywhere from 1-4 days after surgery before it is flushed out of your system. There is no need to take the medication any longer than a few days post-op unless you continue to experience nausea. If nausea does continue, try taking your medication with food to prevent getting an upset stomach. As nausea may also arise from use of pain medications, you may want to take the anti-nausea medication at the same time as your painkillers to prevent nausea. You should consult with your doctor about their guidelines with respect to anti-nausea medications. What Are The Ranges On Recommended Dosages? The dosage strength of anti-nausea pills that you may take will be determined by your doctor and may differ based on the drug you are prescribed and individual health profile. Additiona
