Managing Nausea and Vomiting During Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is an important cancer treatment, but it can sometimes cause nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (being sick), known as Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV). These side effects can range from mild to severe and may affect daily life. A survey of 100 people who had received chemotherapy found that 80% said nausea or vomiting disrupted their activities, and 90% felt anxious about these symptoms.

You are not alone. CINV affects many people, but it can often be prevented or reduced with the right treatment. Chugai Pharma UK is committed to helping patients manage these side effects and encouraging open conversations with doctors and nurses. Talking about nausea and vomiting early can make a big difference.

Take action today: Speak to your healthcare team about ways to prevent and manage nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy.

It has been a pleasure to work with Chugai to develop these resources which will give patients the tools to understand more about nausea and vomiting. In my experience patients often fear nausea and vomiting when starting chemotherapy. I think patients will find the resources reassuring which will support self-management techniques to prevent or manage nausea and vomiting. Importantly there is also a focus about how to manage anti-sickness medications and how to communicate with their healthcare team about any symptoms so these can be dealt with quickly, keeping patients safe and out of hospital.

“I’m grateful to Chugai for giving me the opportunity to talk about CINV and share my viewpoint to others who are going through Chemotherapy through the development of these resources. My message to them be strong and take your medications as prescribed and you will be fine”.

"I have enjoyed working collaboratively with Chugai to develop resources for patients having chemotherapy who may experience nausea and vomiting. I think the varied resources (visual and written) on CINV allows patients to find out what they need to know in a way that suits them. I am sure these materials will encourage patients to ask more questions and feel better informed before and during their treatment".
