Side Effect Aids

Nausea/Dry Mouth

Chemotherapy is notorious for causing nausea (among other fun side effects), however, other medications can cause nausea. Perscriptions like Zofran, scopolamine work but sometimes we need just a little bit extra. It’s also nice to have something handy if you’re ever without your meds or waiting for a refill. These are some products that I have worked for me. They may work for you or someone you know.

Lotions/Lip Balm

Harsh chemos can leave hands and feet raw from skin peeling off or blisters. Dry skin and cracked lips are also problematic and quite painful. These options are quite helpful and do provide relief. (They’re also great even if you’re just someone who happens to have dry skin).
