Queasy Drops can help to relieve Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Post-Operative Nausea.
Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can have unintended side effects of nausea and vomiting. Some drugs, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy have caused nausea and vomiting in patients as well.
The American Cancer Society lists 7 factors that contribute to the likelihood of experiencing nausea and vomiting from treatments.
- The types of treatment used. Drugs that travel through the body are more likely to cause nausea and vomiting than treatment that only affects one area of the body, such as radiation therapy. And, some drugs are more likely than others to cause nausea and vomiting.
- The dose of the drugs (higher doses can be more likely to cause nausea and vomiting, especially certain chemo drugs).
- When and how often the drug is given. For example, if doses of a chemo drug that causes nausea and vomiting are given close together, there’s less time for the person to recover from the effects of the last dose before the next one is given.
- How the drugs are given. For instance, chemo is given through a vein (intravenous, or by IV) may cause nausea and vomiting much faster than a drug given by mouth. This is because the drug given by IV is absorbed faster.
- Individual differences – not every person will have the same response to a dose or type of treatment.
- Having a tumor in the brain, liver, or gastrointestinal tract may increase the risk for nausea and vomiting.
- Other drugs (such as pain medicines) may cause or worsen nausea and/or vomiting.
Please note that in the case of serve and persistent nausea, please talk to your doctor, and see what course of action is right for you.
