I am scheduled for a rhinoplasty in two weeks. I have a fear of vomiting and would like to know which medication or patch is best in preventing post-op nausea. Price is not a concern. Thank you!

Answer: Nausea medications I am a fan of Zofran post-operatively. Most patients tolerate this medication well. However, most of my patients don't experience post-op nausea, in part, because I give them a combination of steroids and Zofran through their IV during the procedure. In most cases, this takes care of any nausea or vomiting that might otherwise have occurred. Good luck!

Answer: What medication best prevents post operative Vomiting? Vomiting Can occur from a variety of issues such as swallowing blood down the back of throat from the rhinoplasty procedure, the anesthesia side effects, or narcotic medications. There is no guarantee prevention, just reduction chance for it to occur. There are multiple medications which can be prescribed by your surgeon and/or anesthesiologist which include scopolamine patch, Zofran, and some intravenous medications which can also help as well.
