Relief for Nausea of Chemotherapy
To reduce the terrible nausea and
vomiting associated with chemotherapy,
have patients drink club soda with
lemon or lime an hour before mealtime.
Instruct them not to substitute
tonic water or 7-Up: because of their
sweetness, these do not have the
same antiemetic effect.
