Introduction

Nausea is a common symptom of many illnesses, including heart problems and allergies. In some cases, nausea can be caused by medications you’re taking or food you’ve eaten. Fortunately, there are many different ways to reduce the discomfort and sickness associated with nausea so that you can get on with your day without fear of throwing up (or puking).

Medications for nausea depend on the cause of your nausea.

The first step in treating nausea is determining its cause. If you have eaten something that isn’t good for your stomach, like raw or undercooked meat or dairy products (like ice cream), then it’s likely that these foods caused the nausea.

If you’re suffering from severe nausea, one of these medications may be able to help:

  • Antiemetics: These drugs are used to relieve symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea
  • H2 blockers: These types of medications block histamine from doing its thing in your body, which can lead to less severe forms of motion sickness and seasickness

If you feel like something is wrong with how your body works and needs a quick fix, ask yourself what caused this new symptom–and then try one of these treatments as soon as possible!

Zofran is an antihistamine that can be used to treat mild to moderate nausea.

Zofran is an antihistamine that can be used to treat mild to moderate nausea. It’s available in tablet form, generic form and liquid form. Zofran has been studied for its effectiveness in treating the symptoms of motion sickness, including stomach pain and nausea.

Benzodiazepines should be avoided when they’re not prescribed by a doctor.

Benzodiazepines are a type of medication that can be used to treat nausea. They’re also known as “benzos” or “downers,” and they’re often combined with other medications to treat major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders.

Benzodiazepines include drugs such as diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan) and alprazolam (Xanax). These drugs have sedative effects that make you feel sleepy, calm down your nerves, relax muscles and help you fall asleep faster. The downside? Benzodiazepine medications have been linked with dependence on their use–meaning you may develop a tolerance for them over time if you take them regularly over an extended period of time.*

Changes in diet and lifestyle may help reduce symptoms of nausea.

You may be able to reduce your symptoms by avoiding foods that trigger nausea. Some of these foods include:

  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine (coffee, tea)
  • Chocolate and other sweets
  • Cheese (especially hard cheeses such as cheddar)
  • Garlic
  • Onion powder/dill pickle relish/ketchup

Gerd diet refers to altering your diet in an attempt to reduce GERD symptoms.

You may also want to try the following:

  • Eat smaller meals more frequently. This will help your stomach feel fuller and reduce your GERD symptoms.
  • Avoid spicy foods and fatty foods, which can make symptoms worse by irritating the esophagus or stomach lining.
  • Avoid dairy products, caffeine and alcohol as these may affect how your body processes food (and therefore how much it can tolerate). If you are on medication for GERD, talk with your doctor before adding any new medicines into the mix–and be sure not to stop taking other prescriptions unless instructed by a doctor first!
