Antiemetics are medications used to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting, which can occur due to various factors such as chemotherapy, surgery, motion sickness, or gastrointestinal disorders.These medications work by acting on different receptors in the body, such as serotonin receptors, dopamine receptors, or cannabinoid receptors, to suppress the vomiting reflex and reduce nausea.Common antiemetic medications include ondansetron, metoclopramide, promethazine, and dimenhydrinate. They are often prescribed before or after chemotherapy sessions, surgical procedures, or for individuals experiencing motion sickness.
