A member asked:

Need advice on what is the the best way to deal with nausea being caused by an antibiotic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take with food: Unless the directions tell you not to, taking medicine with food may lessen the nausea. If it is severe, talk to your doctor about an alternative med.
