Antiemetics

Antiemetics are medications used to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting. These symptoms can occur due to various reasons, such as motion sickness, medications, or illnesses. Antiemetics work by targeting specific pathways in the brain or gastrointestinal tract that trigger these sensations. They come in different forms, including tablets, injections, and patches, and can be prescribed or bought over the counter. Common examples include ondansetron, promethazine, and meclizine. By alleviating nausea and vomiting, antiemetics help improve comfort and allow individuals to carry on with their daily activities.
