I feel nauseated after taking the medicines for PCOS. What should I do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. However, the treatment of PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) is oral contraceptive pills and Metformin. You have been prescribed these two medicines and both of them are known to cause nausea. You can follow a few things which can help you with nausea.

1. Try to keep a significant gap between these medications. At least 3 hours gap, so that the cumulative effect of nausea does not occur.

2. Take the medications just before meals and, not empty stomach or after meals. This will help in keeping nausea to the minimum.

3. Take anti-emetics like the tablet Ondansetron-MD 4 mg, as and when required. Also, take the capsule Pantocid-DSR ((Pantoprazole and Domperidone) daily in the morning till you are taking the above-mentioned medications.

I suggest you continue the medications as PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) can worsen without treatment and can cause complications like infertility. However, if you take the medicines, you might get nausea for a few days but your disease will be cured in the long run.

Hope this helps you.

Kindly revert back in case of further queries.

Thank you.
