How can I manage nausea due to a stomach virus?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern in detail and will surely help you out. The nausea is due to the viral infection only. Zofran (Ondansetron) is only an anti-emetic, and 4 mg is a very low dose. So what you need to do is eradicate the cause of nausea, the virus. That can be done with lots of oral fluids. Keep hydrating yourself. The more the water goes in, the faster the virus clears from your system. This process will generally take seven days, but you can cut it short three to four days with lots of water. Now coming to the feeling of nausea, you should take Zofran 8 mg thrice daily. This is the optimal dose. In addition, take tablet Metoclopramide 10 mg thrice daily and tablet Flupentixol and Melitracen combo once at night. This treatment is for five days, and you will be completely fine after. Please continue to take your other medicines like Bisoprolol and OCPs (oral contraceptive pills) as they will not interfere in the treatment of this viral infection. Along with this, take a good antacid like capsule Omeprazole 20 mg twice daily. Gravol (Dimenhydrinate) is a good drug, but it is less effective than Zofran. So please take the medications I suggested. I hope you get fine soon. Please feel free to revert in case of any more doubts.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have read your concern in detail and will surely help you out. You can take Zofran 8 mg instantly. Do not worry about the increased dose. Either you can take 4 mg every four hours or 8 mg every 8 hours, which will add the same value. So you can take it as per your comfort. Do not worry. It is safe up to 30 mg. Metoclopramide, Flupentixol, Melitracen, and Omeprazole are generic names and not branded names. I intentionally mentioned the generic names so that you do not face difficulty procuring these medicines. Just go to the pharmacy and ask for these medicines, and you will easily get them. If you are unable to get them, let me know, and I will provide you with alternatives. Our main focus is your health. So let me know if you need more help. I hope this helps.
