Online treatment for nausea and vomiting

Treatment for nausea and vomiting typically involves home remedies, avoiding triggers, over-the-counter medications, and prescription medications, if needed. The goal is to prevent or eliminate symptoms.

Zofran (ondansetron) – A prescription oral tablet used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting, often recommended for stomach flu, migraines, or after medical treatments like chemotherapy.
Phenergan (promethazine) – A prescription tablet or syrup that helps control nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness. It may also be used for allergy symptoms or as a sedative.
Transderm Scop (scopolamine patch) – A prescription medicated patch worn behind the ear, typically used to prevent motion sickness or nausea after surgery.
Reglan (metoclopramide) – A prescription oral tablet used to relieve nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, and a feeling of fullness after eating.

Drink clear or ice-cold drinks.
Eat light, bland foods like plain bread or saltine crackers.
Eat smaller meals slowly.
Avoid fatty, fried, or sweet foods.Avoid activity after eating.
Rest up and remain still

While some mild cases of nausea can be managed with over-the-counter options like meclizine (Dramamine) or bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol), these may not be effective for more serious or recurring symptoms.

"My son woke up vomiting this morning so I decided to try Doctor On Demand. I love that I didn’t have to take my son to the doctor’s office when he was feeling so bad. I will definitely be using this again!"

—Doctor On Demand Patient

"I’ve had the stomach flu for almost a week now and didn’t have the energy to go to my doctor’s office or urgent care. With Doctor On Demand, my prescriptions for nausea were sent to my pharmacy and my appointment was done in about 10 minutes! ”

—Doctor On Demand Patient

"Apparently soup and I DON’T get along, b/c this is the 2nd time I’ve been so nauseous I don’t want to move and accidentally throw up somewhere I can’t clean. Thus while watching me lay on the bathroom floor, my very kind, quick, thankfully non judgmental Doctor On Demand was a lifesaver. Needless to say Doctor On Demand+my husband+cvs+zofran = happiness."

—Doctor On Demand Patient
