Nausea and vomiting are not diseases but are caused by certain underlying conditions or as a side effect of certain medicines. Nausea is a feeling where you feel as if you are growing to throw up the contents of your stomach. Vomiting is uncontrolled reflux that makes you expel the contents of your stomach through the mouth. A few other preparations that also contain the same molecule are Emigo suspension, Esyrup, Emeset syrup, and Zofer syrup.
