Active Ingredient Description
Trimethobenzamide

Trimethobenzamide is used for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting and for nausea associated with gastroenteritis. The mechanism of action of trimethobenzamide as determined in animals is obscure, but may involve the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), an area in the medulla oblongata through which emetic impulses are conveyed to the vomiting center; direct impulses to the vomiting center apparently are not similarly inhibited.
