Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but unfourtanetly it is common that Alinia cause then side effect of naseau and it might continue as long you are taking the medication. However, once you stop taking Alinia , the side effect will go away mostly on the following day. To relieve the naseau you can take metoclopramide twice daily. I hope I answered your question . If you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
