Antiemetic

An antiemetic is a medication that helps prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting. These drugs work by affecting the signals in the brain and nervous system that control the sensation of nausea and the act of vomiting. They are commonly used for people experiencing motion sickness, side effects from medications like chemotherapy, or gastrointestinal illnesses. By stabilizing these signals, antiemetics can improve comfort and allow individuals to rest and recover more easily.
