Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). i appreciate your concern regarding your father.

Nausea may be due to side effects of medications he is taking especially lisinopril and colace. So if feasible regarding which you may discuss with your doctor to replace them. Also he may take some prokinetic agent like itopride along with a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole to relieve nausea. Also ask him to avoid fatty meals and should not lie down soon after taking meals at least for 2 hours. Continue with Zofran.

One more thing although of not my specialty lisinopril should be avoided in patients with nephrectony. Please discuss regarding this also with his treating doctor

Do you think that the continued use of Norco 10/325 could be causing the nausea. He has been taking this since the surgery last November.
