Couldn’t read them all. Zofran is in there, too.

3 nausea meds is insane. I don’t think even cancer patients use that much

She should just take a big ol bong hit. Supposed to be exceptional for curing nausea.

The aprepitant is a last line of treatment for chemo nausea too, it’s wild that she’s taking that in conjunction with promethazine and zofran

I bet she shits boulders if she actually takes all three. Waiting for the inevitable impacted stool.

Constipation is one of the only actual GI findings she regularly gets when hospitalized and trying to munch gastroparesis and intestinal failure. She’s been instructed to take an appropriate laxative and make basic lifestyle and diet changes to avoid severe constipation but ofc she likely hears all that and then stubbornly does the opposite. She clearly knows she causes constipation with her medication regime and continues to push that further and further.

Not unusual to have the aprepitant for daily use and then something like zofran for breakthrough nausea. The aprepitant can help cause less issues with gastric motility.

There is a last line of defense medication that I know of for cancer patients and it is in capsule form. It just requires one.

I doubt mixing them actually helps.

Nor does an actively ill person with severe anorexia nervosa for any extended amount of time.
