Brief Answer:
Common side effect

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, unfortunately most antidiarrheal medications can cause the side effect of being nauseous .However this side effect is usually brief and goes away on its own .. you can decrease this feeling by taking the medication on a semi full stomach
Also you can try loperamide (imodium ) instead , but still it can cause the same side effect of feeling nauseous ..I hope you find this helpful..
