Emiston is an antiemetic medicine used to prevent and control nausea and vomiting caused by various medical conditions such as stomach upset, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications. The medicine can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time every day for the best results.
The dosage and duration depend on the condition being treated. Usually, the first dose is taken before surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy begins, followed by additional doses as prescribed by the doctor for a short duration. Avoid taking more than the recommended dose.
Emiston is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting related to cancer treatments and surgery, but it has limited benefit in motion sickness-related vomiting.
