#emetic
- Aeron — A complex pharmaceutical preparation, in tablet form, historically used for preventing and combating motion sickness (kinetosis), seasickness, car sickness, or air sickness. Its chemical composition was based on a stable combination of scopolamine and hyoscyamine salts, having a direct effect of inhibiting cholinergic receptors and reducing the excitability of the vestibular apparatus.
- Antimonyl — A monovalent chemical radical composed of one antimony atom and one oxygen atom (SbO), wherein stibium acts in a trivalent valence state; a functional group that structurally enters the composition of certain complex salts, such as antimony potassium tartrate (tartar emetic). In an industrial and pharmaceutical sense, its compounds were historically used as emetics or mordanți in dyeing.
- Antiemetic — Preventing, combating, soothing, or stopping the sensation of nausea and the act of vomiting; a medication or active substance (such as metoclopramide or ondansetron) administered in the treatment of digestive disorders, motion sickness, or to counteract the emetic side effects of chemotherapy. These compounds act either centrally, by blocking dopaminergic or serotonergic receptors in the brain, or peripherally, by regulating the motility of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Apomorphine — A medicinal substance chemically derived from morphine via dehydration, yet devoid of analgesic or narcotic properties, acting as a potent and non-selective dopamine receptor agonist; a fast-acting emetic. In contemporary medical practice, it is utilized as an injection or infusion for treating acute immobility episodes ('off' periods) in advanced Parkinson's disease patients.
