The trick is to start taking it before the treatment, since it's gentle and slow acting...
Also, I don't think it is actually the Dacogen that causes constipation, rather the anti nausea injectible that they give along side of Dacogen... I forgot what it's called...
They also gave me anti nausea pills, but I didn't take one... (the pill has an R on onside, and 154 on the other)

I take an R 154( just looked at my pills) an hour or 2 before Vidaza infusion. its the generic version of a very popular anti nausea called Zofran but a fraction of the price. It can cause constipation, dizziness and a host of other lovely side effects but I read good things about its ability to cut whatever reflex it is that triggers nausea.
