Dealing with nausea and vomiting from RA medications is genuinely tough — and you're definitely not alone in feeling this way. Many myRAteam members have shared the same struggle.
Here are some tips that may help ease the discomfort:
- Take medication with food — this can help reduce stomach irritation
- Split doses into smaller amounts throughout the day if possible
- Stay hydrated — sipping fluids slowly can help settle the stomach
- Ask about anti-nausea medication — a rheumatologist can prescribe something to help manage this side effect
- Try ginger — ginger tea or ginger chews are a natural remedy some people find helpful It's really important to let a rheumatologist know if nausea or vomiting becomes unmanageable. They may be able to adjust the dose, change the timing of medication, or explore alternative treatments that are easier on the stomach.
Never stop or change medication without speaking to a healthcare provider first, as keeping RA under control is key to long-term wellbeing.

Now that I'm taking a million pills (that's how it feels), I mix the meds in a 4oz cup of applesauce. It calms my stomach, and there is no difficulty swallowing.
