what medicine to use for vomiting
Most people undergoing chemotherapy receive anti-nausea (anti-emetic) medications to prevent nausea and vomiting. These drugs, given alone or in combination, can be taken in pill form or administered through a vein in your arm. Your doctor advises which to use based on the treatment you're receiving. Medications used to prevent nausea and vomiting include: 1  Alprazolam (Niravam, Xanax)  Aprepitant (Emend)
What is Zofran? Zofran (ondansetron) blocks the actions of chemicals in the body that can trigger nausea and vomiting. Zofran is used to prevent nausea and vomiting that may be caused by surgery or by medicine to treat cancer (chemotherapy or radiation). Zofran is not for preventing nausea or vomiting that is caused by factors other than cancer treatment or surgery. You should not use Zofran if you are allergic to ondansetron or to similar medicines such as dolasetron (Anzemet), granisetron (Kytril), or palonosetron (Aloxi).
