Hello welcome to the health care magic
Sorry to heard about your husband condition
Kindly mention reason for which he has been inserted ryles tube and so nausea is present
Hence he has been given metoclopramide drug for that
If vomiting constantly present than antiemetic drug given daily
Muscle affection, depression, headache etc are side effect of this drug
So if needed ondensteron or other antiemetic drug prescribed If metoclopramide not suitable
Discuss with your treating doctor about that and provide your history for which tube inserted for further discussion
Take care
Hope this will help you
