Key points

  • Vomiting is a protective reflex that expels potentially harmful substances from the stomach and upper digestive tract.
  • Nausea and vomiting are common and usually not serious; most people will experience vomiting at some point.
  • Management depends on the underlying cause; simple gastroenteritis or food poisoning can often be managed at home with hydration and bland foods, while severe cases may need IV fluids or antiemetic medicines.

Medicines listed for Nausea and Vomiting

The listed products for nausea and vomiting contain promethazine and domperidone, both in tablet form. Antiemetics are medicines that help prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. Promethazine is an antihistamine with antiemetic properties, while domperidone works by encouraging the stomach to empty more quickly.
