A member asked:
My husband has been taking dexamethasone for 2 days. he has extreme hiccups and burping. how can we stop this? he has quit taking the medication today?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
His prescriber should be made aware as it probably has to do with the reason for why Dexamethasone was recommended, hiccups may be refractory and a potential cause will be needed in determining possible treatment.
