How do anti vomiting drugs work?
Anti sickness drugs work by either: blocking the vomiting centre in the brain. blocking receptors in your gut that trigger nausea in the brain. acting directly on your stomach by increasing the rate at which it empties and moves food into your bowel.
How quickly do antiemetics work?
