ANTIEMETICS are a large class of dugs whos' main function is to prevent or help fight nausea and vomiting. Examples: DRAMAMINE, ANZEMET, MARINOL, KYTRIL, BONINE, REGLAN, ZOFRAN, COMPAZINE, and a few more. <<>> The answer above is absolutely correct :), but I just wanted to add one more - which is probably the most prescribed - Phenergan (promethazine). Anti-emetics can be further classified for the type of n/v being treated. For example, Bonine (meclizine) and Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) contain anti-histamines and can be purchased over the counter. These types of drugs are best suited for motion sickness. Zofran (ondansetron) is a prescription drug generally used for chemotherapy related nausea and sometimes morning sickness.
