AB Nausea  and  vomiting  are  two  of  the  most  common  side  effects  experienced  by  patients  receiving  chemotherapy.1  If  not  appropriately  controlled,  nausea  and  vomiting  can  lead  to  serious  complications  such  as  electrolyte  imbalances  and  esophageal  tears.2  It  is  much  easier  to  prevent  nausea  and  vomiting  than  to  try  to  treat  it  once  it  has  started.  Although  significant  progress  has  been  made  in  drug  therapy  for  nausea  and  vomiting,  these  side  effects  continue  to  be  some  of  the  most  worrisome  and  undesirable  effects  reported  by  patients  receiving  chemotherapy.
