HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Fixcom is made up of a combination of TB medications.

Nausea and vomiting are possible side effects of more than one of the components of this medication.
This means that it is not uncommon to have these symptoms with this medication.

She should consider speaking to her doctor so that she can be given medication to counteract these effects.

I hope this helps
