Suggest Treatment For Flu And Nausea
No matter what medication I take, eye drops, vitamins, I get sick to my stomach and feel like I just have a slight case of flu, lethargic and nauseated.. I have had this most of my life. Is there anything I can take to counteract this... I am in good health otherwise, but I occasionally need to take meds. The most recent was for dry eyes. All the drops just made me feel sick including a prescription. I am 82 years old, female.

thank you for the query.
there could be only one reason for your symptoms -either allergy to many ingredients or a psychological aversion to medication.
drops for dry eyes do not get absorbed into he body, only form a film to reduce dryness of the conjunctiva.
hope this helps
