Ginger is great for nausea. Fresh ginger is the best. I chop some and add it to oatmeal while its cooking.
You can even juice fresh ginger root to use in drinks or watered down.

Be sure he is taking riba with a substantial meal.

Yes, Cindy is correct.
Zofran (Ondansetron ) is the med of choice for cancer patients and people with advanced liver disease also. It is used to prevent both nausea and vomiting. So it won't harm your liver should that be an issue.

Cheers!

My vote is for Zofran (8mg).  I had substantial nausea and vomiting.  In addition to the Zofran, I also have the patch behind the ear.  Unfortunately for me, the Zofran kept me from vomiting, but it didn't take the constant nausea away, hence two medications.

i know what you mean...when i start gagging its uncontrollable sometimes...its such a drag when the zofran isn't within grabbing distance....so now i bring it everywhere...there are lots of days now that i don't need it though....it was way worse during the incivek days.....billy
