It s easier to prevent nausea and vomiting than it is to stop it once it starts. No one anti-sickness medication can prevent or control chemo-related nausea and vomiting 100% of the time. This is because chemo acts on the body in different ways and each person responds to chemo and to anti-nausea/vomiting medicines differently.
Delayed nausea and vomiting usually does not start until 24 hours or more after you get chemo. It can last for several days. Anticipatory nausea and vomiting is a learned response to chemo. It occurs because of past nausea and vomiting after chemo. Your brain expects that nausea and vomiting will happen again, even before the treatment is given.

Anonymous; Ma; Ativan (lorazepam) Lorazepam is the only thing that touches my nausea after having chemotherapy and for breakthrough nausea from the chemo. I was not aware that this was a medicine used for nausea until my Dr. prescribed them for me and told me to dissolve them under my tongue for the nausea.
2) odanestron and metaclopramide, day of and days following chemo treatment. Both anti nausea meds. 3) Ativan as required if the prior 2 weren't
