Eating a dry cracker before taking the medication can help alleviate the nausea. It is not appropriate to tell the patient to stop taking the medication without consulting their healthcare provider, and doing nothing does not address the patient's concern. Taking the medication with a heavy meal may help with the nausea but it may also reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
