What Medicines Are Prescribed For Nausea?

Zofran
Zofran(Ondansetron) is used very commonly when suffering from nausea associated with anesthesia, or even pregnancy(morning sickness). It is an incredibly safe drug, with very few side effects, but can cause constipation. It can be given either through injection, or as a dissolvable tablet. Both work incredibly fast. The normal dosage is 4mg 3 times daily as needed, but can be taken as 8mg if too sick.

Phenergan
Phenergan(Promethazine) Prevents and controls motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Also used to relieve or prevent allergic reactions, helps people go to sleep, and control their pain or anxiety before or after surgery or other procedures. This drug can be given by injection, by mouth, or rectally. This drug is known to make one incredibly sleepy, so it is advised to never take it when you plan on driving somewhere.

There obviously are more than these, and I will add them as I find information on them.
