Nausea & Motility
The vomiting pathways and their antiemetics, and the prokinetics that get the gut moving.
Antiemetics: Choosing the Right Drug for the Right Cause
There's no single 'best' anti-sickness drug — there's a best one for each cause. The secret, from the foundations map, is that different triggers of vomiting act through different receptors, and each antiemetic blocks one of them. Match the drug to the pathway, and you'll treat nausea like an expert.
Prokinetics: Drugs That Get a Sluggish Gut Moving
When the stomach empties too slowly, food backs up — causing nausea, bloating and reflux. Prokinetics are the drugs that get things moving again, and the main one is a familiar face doing a second job. It's a short but neat topic that ties motility straight back to the antiemetics and the autonomic system.
