Summary Introduction

Antiemetic drugs are used to relieve vomiting and nausea. There are seven categories of antiemetic drugs that act on some sites of vomiting pathways with varying action of the mechanism. Different categories of drugs are combined to increase the antiemetic effectiveness as they block more than one vomiting pathway. The antiemetic drugs are also used for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
