A member asked:
Would you prescribe an antihistamine for nausea from birth control? or recommend it in case a patient might experience nausea when starting the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Antihistamine does not work that well for nausea except perhaps for bonine or dramamine (dimenhydrinate). Ginger has been used in china for centuries to combat nausea. Why not give this a try first.?
