I get very nauseas from migraines and this suppository is a life saver! I can't swallow any medication because I may throw it up so this is very helpful. Haven't really had any side effects.

Comment:
Used many times over last year for nausea due to digestive disorder. Got rid of nausea, but made me very lethargic for 24 hrs and ruined appetite even after reducing dosage. Also became aggitated and could not sleep even though extremely tired. Would not use again.
