I have an over the counter drug question for bandsters, and a question regarding who to ask for RX's.

What medicine can you take for nausea with the band? I usually take Alka Selzer (it works best for me), but don't know if I can use it with the band.

For nausea medicine RX's, who should you call? My PCP says to call band doctor, surgeon acts like they should not be writing scripts this far out from surgery. Have not asked fill doctor. If I just want phengren for emergency use who do I ask?

Is there a generally acceptable list of OTC products that bandsters can use? I know every BODY is different and has different requirements, but does the BAND itself cause issues with OTC things?

Had a horrible weekend from a Gumbo (w/o rice) dish, and need to stock up the medicine cabinet to avoid future nightmares.

Over the counter Dramamine might help. As far as who to ask...not sure on that one, if it's just a phenergan script I would think either your PCP or band doctor would do that for you.

I get my phenergan from my PCP. I have no problem. I am not banded yet, but when I needed meds for nausea that is who I get mine from. I hope some doctor helps you. It really is no big deal to write a script for that so I hope your docs don't make a big deal out of it. Good luck.
