How can I avoid nausea as a side effect of taking emergency contraception?

<p>To prevent nausea and vomiting, you can take the non-prescription anti-nausea medicine meclizine (also sold under the brand names Dramamine II or Bonine) an hour before taking the first dose of EC. Note that this might make you drowsy.</p> <p>If you end up puking within an hour of taking a dose of EC, you may want to take that dose again in case your body didn&rsquo;t absorb the hormones yet.</p>
