💊 OTC at Rx Antiemetic Drugs
Hindi gamot lang ang sagot. Rehydration (ORS, Pedialyte) ay mas critical para hindi madehydrate. Para sa severe o recurring vomiting, kailangan ng workup.
- Vomidon 10 mg (Domperidone): P10-25/tab OTC. 1 tab TID, 30 min bago kumain. Para sa GI-origin nausea at vomiting (gastritis, GERD, gastroenteritis).
- Bonamine 25 mg (Meclizine): P10-15/tab OTC. 1 tab 30-60 min bago mag-byahe. Para sa motion sickness at vestibular vomiting.
- Dramamine 50 mg (Dimenhydrinate): P5-10/tab. Para sa motion sickness. Mas mura pero NAPAKAANTOK.
- Plasil 10 mg (Metoclopramide, Rx): P15-30/tab. 1 tab TID. Stronger antiemetic. May extrapyramidal side effects sa long use; short-term only.
- Zofran 4-8 mg (Ondansetron, Rx): P50-150/tab. Pinaka-mabisa antiemetic. Para sa chemo-induced, post-op, o severe gastroenteritis.
- Phenergan 25 mg (Promethazine, Rx): P15-30/tab. Para sa severe vomiting + insomnia. Heavy sedation.
💧 Rehydration + Symptom Care
Dehydration ang main risk sa adult vomiting, lalo na sa elderly at sa init. Sip slowly, hindi gulp. Step-up sa solid foods pagkatapos.
- ORS / Hydrite / Pedialyte: P30-50/sachet. Mix sa 1 liter tubig. Sip 50-100 mL every 5-10 min. Mas mainam kaysa plain water para sa electrolyte replacement.
- BRAT diet pagkatapos: Banana, Rice, Apple sauce, Toast. Easy-to-digest carbohydrates habang nag-rerecover ang gut.
- Cool fluids sip-by-sip: Iwasan ang sobrang lamig o sobrang init. Plain water, coconut water, weak tea ay OK.
- Iwasan muna ang dairy at fatty foods: Mahirap i-digest sa post-vomiting gut. 24-48 hours bago bumalik.
- Ginger tea: Natural antiemetic, may evidence sa pregnancy at motion sickness nausea.
- Small frequent meals: 5-6 small meals/day kaysa 3 large. Pampabawas ng vomiting trigger.

🚨 ER Agad: Bleeding at Critical Red Flags
Mga Karaniwang Tanong
Ano ang pinakamabisang gamot sa pagsusuka?
Para sa motion sickness, Bonamine (Meclizine 25mg) o Dramamine 30-60 min bago mag-byahe. Para sa gastroenteritis o gastritis-related vomiting, Vomidon (Domperidone 10mg) 30 min bago kumain. Para sa severe vomiting, Plasil (Metoclopramide Rx) o Zofran (Ondansetron Rx). Para sa pregnancy nausea, Diclectin Rx. Importante: kasama ang ORS rehydration para hindi madehydrate.
Kelan dapat mag-ER para sa pagsusuka?
ER agad kung: dugo sa suka (hematemesis); itim na suka tulad ng coffee grounds; severe dehydration; projectile vomiting + severe headache + neck stiffness; pagsusuka + severe abdominal pain (appendicitis, bowel obstruction); pagsusuka + chest pain; pregnant + can't keep down anything for 24 hours (hyperemesis gravidarum); o pagsusuka + altered mental status. Hindi self-medicate sa red flags.
Vomidon vs Plasil vs Bonamine: alin para sa anong sanhi?
Bonamine at Dramamine ay para sa motion sickness. Vomidon (Domperidone) ay para sa GI-origin vomiting. Plasil (Metoclopramide, Rx) ay stronger antiemetic, short-term only. Zofran (Ondansetron, Rx) ay pinaka-mabisa pero pricey. Para sa simple gastroenteritis vomiting sa adult, Vomidon + ORS ang practical approach. Para sa severe, magpa-Internal Medicine.
Bakit umuulit ang pagsusuka ko?
Recurring adult vomiting causes: chronic gastritis o peptic ulcer disease (H. pylori, NSAID use), GERD, gastroparesis (slow gastric emptying, common sa diabetics), pregnancy (hyperemesis gravidarum), migraine with vomiting, medication side effects, bulimia, at chronic alcohol use. Recurring vomiting na lampas 48-72 hours o weekly recurrence ay kailangan ng Gastroenterology workup. Pwedeng kailangan ng endoscopy o gastric emptying study.
Recurring na Pagsusuka?
Pagsusuka na lampas 72 hours o umuulit weekly ay kailangan ng proper workup. Magpa-konsulta sa Internal Medicine o Gastroenterology sa NowServing para sa endoscopy o gastric emptying study. Hindi sustainable ang antiemetic daily.
