Relief of Nausea for you and your family.
Used by families and recommended by doctors for more than 60 years, Emetrol is a trusted medicine without a prescription that is useful in reducing nausea associated with an upset stomach.
Emetrol relieves nausea by soothing the stomach, not the coating around it. Unlike antacids (which are generally for acidity in the belly), Emetrol is explicitly designed for nausea.
It works by soothing the contractions of the stomach muscles that can lead to vomiting.
Emetrol does not contain antihistamines, alcohol, aspirin, or caffeine. Moreover, it is strong enough for adults and safe for children two years and older; it is essential for the family kit.
Guidelines for use
Dosage: The dose of Emetrol should be administered every 15 minutes or until there is no more prolonged nausea or stomach fatigue.
- Adults and children 12 years and older: 15 ml or 30 ml.
- Children from 2 to less than 12 years of age: 5 ml or 10 ml.
Caution: It should not be taken for more than one hour (5 doses) without consulting a doctor. If nausea continues or frequently persists, consult a doctor.
FOR MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS, NEVER DILUTE EMETROL or drink liquids immediately before or after drinking.
