A member asked:
Why am i having horrible hiccups from chemotherapy.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effect: This is a side effect of some chemotherapy and some of the supportive drugs including anti-nausea drugs and steroids. Tell your doctor. There are some medications that help, including thorazine (chlorpromazine) and baclofen, but both make you very sleepy! stopping oral Dexamethasone helps some patients (if you are on it). But ask your doc first!
