Overcome Medication-Induced Nausea: A 9-Step Plan
  • Inform your doctor about the nausea and discuss possible alternatives to the medication or adjustments to the dosage.
  • Divide your daily food intake into smaller, more frequent meals to reduce nausea.
  • Opt for bland, easily digestible foods like crackers, toast, plain rice, bananas, and applesauce.
  • Avoid certain foods that can trigger nausea, such as fatty, greasy, spicy, and smelly foods.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broth, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.

Health Queries

Fever and metabolic encephalopathy combined with seizures are a medical emergency that requires emergency hospital care. It is urgent to determine the reason, which could be an infection, a serious metabolic imbalance, or exposure to toxins. For prompt assessment and care, kindly transport the patient to the emergency room or intensive care unit.

I am experiencing seizures, dizziness, and vertigo while taking Epiliv 500 and Lametec 100 DT at night for epilepsy. Are there any Ayurvedic medicines that can help?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

When taking Epiliv (valproate) and Lametec (lamotrigine), seizures, vertigo, and dizziness require a thorough medical evaluation, not just herbs. Stopping or replacing your anti-seizure medications can be risky because there is no proven Ayurvedic medication that can effectively treat or control epilepsy. Discuss dose modification, managing side effects, and safe supplemental support (such as nutrition and sleep) with your neurologist.

I have been on Lametec 100 DT and Diva OD for four years. Why does my doctor only extend the medicine without providing answers?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Long-term medication is frequently used to prevent seizures in people with epilepsy, even while they are feeling well. Because quitting or altering dosages might cause seizures, doctors may decide to prolong prescriptions. You are entitled to a neurologist's explanation or second opinion.
