Suggest Treatment For Extreme Nausea For My Husband
My husband is taking Sulfameth/tmp 800/160MG TB two tablets by mouth three times daily. Also Ciprofloxacin 500MG one tablet by mouth twice daily. He takes these with water and then follows with toast, cereal or milk. He gets extremely nauseaus. He has been taking these for approximately six weeks. He is taking this medication as the result of a bacterial infection resulting from a contaminated bag of peritoneal dialysis. Please provide any information that might help with his nausea/ gagging. Thank you.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a side effects of the antibiotics. I suggest using Reglan 10 mg three times a day to relieve nausea. I also suggest using daily probiotics. I recommend to drink liquids and eat a fiber-rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
