Self-Treatment of Nausea and Vomiting


Yes, you can treat nausea and vomiting and other severe gastrointestinal symptoms yourself with non-prescription products that are available at a store near you now. With this treatment the vomiting will usually stop in 30 minutes to 1 hour. No going to the doctor. No prescription drugs. There are safe non-prescription products available to stop vomiting usually at a cost of less than $10, if you live in the USA.

It is not usually necessary to make an expensive trip to the doctor and wait for hours. There are safe non-prescription products available to treat severe symptoms caused by food poisoning, stomach virus or stomach flu. If there are problems other than nausea/vomiting, such as dehydration, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, etc., then you might want to check out the Food Poisoning and Stomach Virus page instead of this page.

You can get control over this situation with a multi-faceted approach to self- treatment. Using this treatment you'll save time and money. Let's get started.

Self-treatment of nausea and/or vomiting

The non-prescription drugs Dramamine or Bonine will often control nausea due to motion sickness, (air sickness, car sickness.) And products like Pepto-Bismol, Emetrol, Maalox, etc., which are marketed for sick stomach, may sometimes help with mild stomach upset. But often they will NOT stop vomiting from food poisoning, stomach virus or stomach flu, because they only work in the stomach and intestines.

People typically think that the stomach controls vomiting, but actually the nausea center of the brain mostly controls it.  So, the best anti-nausea (anti-emetic) drugs work in the nausea center of the brain. You may have heard of the prescription drugs Phenergan (promethazine) or Compazine (prochlorperazine). These are the most commonly used anti-nausea drugs available by prescription only. They are very effective.

In the U.S. it is not legal for a drug company to market non-prescription anti-nausea drugs that work in the brain. However, there is a non-prescription drug which works in the nausea center of the brain. It will stop nausea and vomiting from food poisoning, stomach virus or stomach flu quickly and very effectively. But, the manufacturer just cannot legally market it as a non-prescription drug for nausea in America.  We'll tell you what drug that is.

Proper treatment will make a dramatic difference in how bad the patient feels. Plus it will keep the patient from having to go to the doctor or emergency room for very expensive treatment to accomplish the same thing that could have been done at home.


In this article you'll be armed with thorough information that you need to make informed decisions about treating nausea and vomiting. Your role is to use the info provided below to:
A) understand the warnings/cautions,
B) see the Wellness Guarantee, and decide whether you want to do self-treatment (as opposed to going to a physician or emergency room,)
C) pay the $5.00 fee for providing this info to you. (Nowhere on the Internet will you find for free the kind of thorough, complete info on self-treating this condition that you'll receive here, nor will you find a guarantee in writing. Results are absolutely guaranteed. Guarantees are practically unheard of in health care.)
D) read the page about medicines and approaches you can use for self-treatment, and then buy any needed products (inexpensive) at a store near you,
E) use the medicine properly, and do the self-treatment responsibly and well.

This is serious help for someone who is really feeling bad. You'll receive a detailed plan in writing, (to walk you thru it.) This is not a 15 second version like you would usually get from a hurried pharmacist in a retail pharmacy.  It will help you think through what you can do from start to finish.

About the author

A) Warnings/Cautions

Yes, reading warnings and cautions is boring. But be wise.  Slow down just a little and take the 2-3 minutes necessary to read through them. Doing so can prevent serious problems. Note: We don't know whether you (the reader) are also the patient and are treating yourself or you are helping someone else who has a sick stomach. People who have a bad sick stomach often have someone helping them; so this is written as if you are the helper, trying to help someone that we'll call "Susan," who is sick.

Do NOT try to treat this sick stomach yourself if any of the following apply:

1) Do NOT use this medicine if "Susan" has been vomiting several times daily for more than 2 consecutive days already. She may already be dangerously dehydrated, so it may be best to take her to the doctor. Actually a child or even an adult can get dangerously dehydrated in just 1 day if there is severe vomiting and diarrhea. So you must use some common sense about whether to self-treat or not. If Susan has become so dehydrated that she cannot sit up by herself or get up to go to the toilet herself, you should call a physician.
2) Do NOT use this treatment, if Susan is pregnant or nursing, or of child-bearing age and missed her most recent menstrual period, (because she may be pregnant.).
3) Do NOT use it if Susan is uncontrolled diabetic.
4) The anti-nausea medicine will cause drowsiness. The patient will probably go to sleep. But it will not make her so drowsy that she cannot get up to go to the restroom by herself.) Do NOT use it if Susan cannot be drowsy.
5) Do NOT use it if Susan is under 6 years old. Dehydration is much more dangerous in small children. Don't mess around with it.
6) Do NOT use it if Susan is over 65 years old. (It's not that it won't work. It's just that there are so many more things that could go wrong with an elderly person, because they often have some health problems.)



7) Do NOT use it if Susan is generally in poor health from long-term health problems.
8) Do NOT use it if the patient has salivary gland trouble, asthma, epilepsy/seizures, hepatitis or other liver problems, closed-angle glaucoma, AIDS, or is male and has significant prostate gland trouble.
9) Do NOT use it if Susan has had a head injury within the last 30 days.
10) Do NOT use it if Susan has a fever over 100.5 F. Please really take her temperature rather than guessing. 
11) Do NOT use it if Susan has had diarrhea for more than 10 days already.
12) Only for those in the United States. Not for those outside the U.S.
13) The info provided here is not focused on "alternative" medicine like herbs.
14) Do NOT use this document unless you are willing to accept the slightly higher health risks associated with self-treatment versus going to a physician. This document cannot cover every possible scenario. It does not replace your physician or show you how to make choices as wisely as he would. It gives basic information which you use to make decisions about self-treatment. But you are really doing the treatment yourself. Obviously, if there is some unusual or serious condition, like a ruptured appendix, you will not be able to diagnose or treat it properly. By self-treating you would be delaying the detection of any serious problem. It is a risk which is very slight, but one which you need to think about before you treat yourself. This risk is probably similar to the risk which you take any time you treat yourself for any medical problem, like nasal symptoms, sore throat, knee pain, headache, rashes, etc.



B) See Guarantee and Decide

 Results are absolutely guaranteed.
The Wellness Guarantee is this. First you need to have read this document through completely, especially the Warnings/Cautions section above. Second, after you pay the small fee you will be getting plenty of info on self-treatment and the medicine that you can use to treat the condition in question. You will need to read that document carefully too. If you do that, then your can get a refund if 
1) after you read the document describing the self-treatment, you decide not to try the treatment for any reason, or 
2) you cannot find the needed products near you, or
3) the medicine does not work, that is, the symptoms fail to go away or improve satisfactorily, or 
4) the treatment causes unpleasant side effects, so that you have to stop using it and are sorry that you tried it. (But remember that the Warnings section said to be prepared for certain side effects.)
This kind of Wellness Guarantee is practically unheard of in healthcare. Just keep your receipt showing your transaction number with PayPal, as described below, and request a refund within 30 days, via a form that you'll be provided in the document.

The fee for this self-treatment information is $5.00. 

Maybe you have only been accustomed to paying physicians (and not pharmacists) for medical information. You can go pay a physician a higher fee, and then go buy the prescription, and have to wait at both places. That route will cost you more money and more time. This solution is cheaper, easier, medically sound, and guaranteed.

Also, in case you have the thought that you can just go ask a pharmacist near you and get the same info for free, you almost certainly will not. Very few pharmacists recommend "off label" uses for drugs, even when they know they work. In other words they only recommend using medicines for what they are being marketed for, regardless of other potential uses. So they'll probably recommend Emetrol or Pepto-Bismol for nausea, neither of which will stop the bad nausea and vomiting of food poisoning, stomach virus or stomach flu.

Furthermore, they don't have the time to go thru all the things that you need to do to deal with serious nausea and vomiting. And if they do have the time, they probably wouldn't remember to tell you many of the things in the document you'll get from us. And even if you knew the best pharmacist in America, working in the slowest pharmacy in America (so he has time to talk through all this,) you probably couldn't remember all the essential things that you need to do to get the best treatment once you get back home. You need it in writing, so you won't forget and will have it right in front of you.

After you pay the fee you will be directed to a page providing self-treatment information for nausea and vomiting, for adults and children over 6. You can then print off the information, and save it for your own future personal use and for the use of anyone in your household. (Not for copy to display or distribute to others.) The products that will be recommended are commonly available at local pharmacies and other stores in the United States.

A few dollars is nothing for serious relief from stomach ache, don't you think? These few dollars are guaranteed to bring you the info you need to stop nausea and vomiting very quickly and effectively.
