Side Effect #2: Nausea

Nausea is an uncomfortable and unpleasant sensation where there is an involuntary urge to vomit. Although it is not painful, it can be a debilitating issue as it places discomfort in the back of the throat, chest, and upper abdomen. Like pain, nausea is nature’s way of discouraging the individual from repeating harmful triggers such as ingesting poisonous plants.

It is a common and nonspecific symptom that has various causes such as migraine, dizziness, motion sickness, food poisoning, low blood sugar, gastroenteritis, and increased intracranial pressure. Nausea can be managed using antiemetics such as promethazine, metoclopramide, and ondansetron.
