Nausea is a common ailment. About 120,000 Dutch people often suffer from it. The impact of nausea is great. If you are really nauseous, you can't do much and your daily activities will suffer. Fortunately, there is something that can be done about it.

About 80,000 people use Domperidone, a drug that is now under fire for its risks in people with heart problems. Parliamentary questions have even been asked about it. A letter to the chamber replied that there is no freely available alternative to Domperidone.

An alternative However, there is another medicine for nausea. Namely Iberogast, a natural herbal medicine. It tackles your nausea and is freely available in the Netherlands. The drug is also suitable for people who are not often nauseous, but who occasionally suffer from it (such as on vacation).

Registration
Iberogast is registered as a medicine. Prof. dr. dr. A.J.P.M. Smout of the AMC says:'When you talk about herbal treatments, there is usually little evidence, except for the herbal medicine Iberogast. The scientific evidence for Iberogast has also been published in good journals'.
