Don't feel embarassed[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]. They are drugs that prevent or alleviate nausea and vomiting. Not sure whether you can buy them without prescription in the US but here you need to see your doctor who will prescribe them.


Have a look at this link: http://www.emetonline.co.uk/help_facts/antiemetics/index.asp it tells you how the drugs work and what types of anti-emets are available.

Hey Missy, don't be embarassed, its fine to ask things like this.


Anti emetics as others have said prevents nausea/v*ing.


Some examples are (I think) gravol (for those in Canada), Dramamine (the same as gravol, the USA equivilent), Pepto-bismol, and other types of drugs that have these effects.
