Comparison: Antiemetics

Selection Rationale
  • choice of antiemetic should be guided by the cause
  • multiple causes may necessitate antiemetic polypharmacy 
  • If a patient is already taking oral antiemetics and still nauseated, they may benefit from a change in route of administration for a few days
