With a rich history dating back to 1950, Emetrol offers fast-acting and gentle solutions for digestive discomfort. In some cases, adults can take over-the-counter medicines such as loperamide (Imodium) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate) to treat diarrhea caused by food poisoning.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health point to some evidence that ginger can help with morning sickness and, alongside medication, to nausea and vomiting from cancer treatment. Prescription medications should be reviewed with your physician or midwife during your appointments. Doctors may advise some people—especially people with weakened immune systems—to take antibiotics before and during a trip to help prevent travelers’ diarrhea.

Antiemetics are drugs that combat nausea and vomiting, with different drugs designed to address specific causes of nausea. Hyperemesis needs to be treated aggressively with medications and fluids, and should not be ignored. Their products are designed to alleviate symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and vomiting caused by motion sickness. Domperidone is considered to be the agent of choice for inadequate lactation because of its superior side effect profile, efficacy, and minimal passage into breast milk.

Additionally, the following side effects have been reported in general use: dizziness; muscle aches; liver problems; allergic reactions including rash and hives; raised red rash, sometimes with target-shaped lesions (erythema multiforme); muscle pain, tenderness or weakness; muscle breakdown; gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder (which may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting); inflammation of the pancreas often with severe abdominal pain; constipation, reduction in blood cell counts, which may cause bruising/bleeding (thrombocytopaenia); tingling sensation; depression: unusual tiredness or weakness; shortness of breath.

The formulation contains "non-permitted active ingredients: dextrose, levulose and phosphoric acid," the letter says.
