For Nausea/Vomiting "My mother gave this to me as a kid, and I had not taken it for probably 30+ years. I was horribly sick with the flu and had someone pick some of this up for me, and it still managed to do the trick. The secret is to lie still and don't take any food or drink in for an hour or so. Works wonders."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I suffer bouts of nausea with no known reason. I recently started taking Nauzene and find it is the only product that works for me. It relieves the nausea within minutes. I don't know what I would do without it."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I suffer from severe nausea and vomiting due to too much acid being released into my stomach. After being seen by my physician, to make sure that I had nothing serious, he prescribed many different types of antacids and medications to treat nausea and vomiting, and NOTHING was able to control my symptoms, not even IV medications. I tried Nauzene and found that I only need to chew 2 Nauzene tablets which, by the way, taste very good, and within 5 minutes I actually felt like I was never sick to my stomach. It is a miracle medication that you don't need a prescription for. I refer to this MIRACLE NAUSEA RELIEF as an over-the-counter medication and recommend it to anyone that I talk to who tells me they have seen a doctor about a stomach problem and their medication isn't working."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was vomiting for over a day. I was ready to go to the hospital for an IV because I was so dehydrated. As a last-ditch effort, I asked my husband to go to the drugstore and ask the pharmacist if there was something OTC that could help... they recommended this. I took it, and it was all I needed. No more vomiting after the dose... a Godsend!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I am convinced if you can stomach the taste of these things, then you're not going to vomit. They're absolutely disgusting. But they seem to work. I'm laid up with COVID and keep getting waves of nausea. They help for a bit, then I have to suffer through another dose. Since I'm phobic of vomit, I guess suffering through the taste is worth it. Pro tip, crush it up and swallow it quick with a mouthful of drink if you can. The texture is almost as bad as the taste."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I recently had my tonsils out, and the medication they gave me makes me extremely nauseous, especially while being in the car. I stopped at Target to get something on a long car drive, and I was told not to get Dramamine but to try Emetrol by the pharmacist. When I got back in the car, I took it, and I didn't have nausea for the rest of the night! (4:30pm-2 am). This stuff is great and really works. It is very sugary, but it does the trick."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have chronic bouts of nausea after I eat certain foods, and decided to give this a try after finding it at Rite Aid. For my case, it honestly didn’t do much until like dose 4, and the relief was only for a few hours and the nausea returned. Not only that, but I suffered a pretty severe allergic reaction to an ingredient and broke out in hives all over my body, including my face. I’ll probably pass and leave this medication to others."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I believe Nauzene works well. I have lots of stomach issues, this seems to help. I see everyone say the taste is horrible. I eat the cherry chewables, and I think they taste pretty good, actually way better than Tums. Just wondering what version of this are people taking that is so awful."

For Nausea/Vomiting "These tablets are a lifesaver. They really do work quickly, I always prefer a liquid to something I have to chew. I am one of the rare people, I guess, that does not like mint-flavored anything, even gum. I am pleased with the wild cherry flavor, the only thing I wish sometimes is that it was a liquid. I tried Emetrol (liquid nausea medicine), and I end up having to drink the entire bottle from morning to night. It does work, but not for $6 a day! I recently got prescribed Zofran 8 mg, and the Nauzene truly works better and faster! I highly recommend."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have to say, it tastes wicked good. I've been sick with a stomach bug since 5ish this morning. I vomited it all out earlier and have been able to keep food and liquid down, but have been having those queasy feelings since then that are more annoying than threatening. Anyway, I took Emetrol for the first time ever at 4:40 pm. I've had this bottle forever but haven't really had a reason to use it, until now as this is my first time vomiting in 7 years. It burns a bit going down and has an interesting throat feel, but it tastes so good I don't even mind. Yes, you can taste the medicine somewhat, but it's not that bad. Especially considering what I was tasting and having burn in my throat earlier. It has only been 4 minutes, but I do feel a difference. I will definitely use this again! :) 9/10 so far just because I still need to see where time takes me."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I've woken up plenty of times with vertigo and not being able to find something that gets rid of the awful dizziness and nausea. I bought Nauzene, and it lives up to its rep to work in just four minutes. I suggest you still take it easy after you take the medicine. It cost me $8, not happy about the price, but definitely worth it. The box comes with 50 tabs. Recommended!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I'd been on anti-anxiety meds (Lexapro) for over a year and just started tapering off of it. About a month into tapering, I started experiencing horrible nausea and vomiting as if I got the stomach flu. I vomited in front of the pharmacist, LOL literally, and while I was teary-eyed from the exhaustion of the side effects, she recommended Emetrol. I took it and the nausea went away completely, THANK GAWD :D"

For Nausea/Vomiting "My fiancé had a little too much fun the night before. He was vomiting all day and could not keep any fluids down. I got him the Emetrol, and he vomited 5 minutes after because he had just drank water. So right after he vomited, I gave him more. Told him not to drink anything. It took about 4 doses. This was a very severe hangover. He was throwing up until 10 pm at night. But this stuff did the trick! 15 minutes afterward, I had him take small sips of Gatorade and water every 5 minutes. He finally fell asleep and kept his liquids down. I highly recommend this stuff!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I've been experiencing nausea for two days. I came across reviews for Emetrol. I'm always not sure to believe all reviews, but after reading, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! Within a half hour, I was feeling so much better and haven't had any problems since. For someone who is hesitant, I highly recommend Emetrol."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have had the stomach flu for 8 days now. I have been able to keep drinks down and some crackers, but my stomach hurt, and the nausea was unbearable. I got Zofran from the doctor, but you can only take it 2 times a day. All I wanted was for the nausea to stop. After trying a lot of OTC stuff, I found Emetrol, and I was thinking there is no way this is going to work. But I was so done with being nauseous, I gave it a try. One thing I can say is it burns my throat. You are not supposed to have water right after taking it, but I need a sip. Also, you take it every 15 minutes until it works, so you end up taking a lot of it. I wish it worked in one dose, the taste of it makes me want to throw up, and I did. I took 3 doses and just threw it all up. The taste is too strong now that I am nauseous again and not sure if I should take more. I felt like it was working earlier, then, as I am writing a review, I start throwing up again. I still can't eat."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I don’t really know how to feel about this, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know what else to take, but I had come across good reviews for this on the internet. I don’t know if it’s more of a mental thing or what. The bottle does go very fast! When you take the 15 mg, and if you have to double dose, then it will go even faster. I would give it a try, being that it does kind of work, but if you don’t like very sweet cherry, I would stay away from this."

For Nausea/Vomiting "In all 44 years of life, I’ve never heard of this medication and was skeptical. I stumbled upon Emetrol in a desperate search for something to help my brother, who was nonstop vomiting for over two days. I was about to call an ambulance, it was that bad, and I have never seen anyone stay so violently ill for so long. He fought me on it, wouldn’t take it until he finally relented, and immediately he began to improve. It’s been 12 hours, and I’m happy to report he’s getting back to his old self! I highly recommend it! It’s as miraculous as all the reviews claim it to be! My brother is a large man (6 ft over 275 lbs) and was improved with one dose!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "Well... this is my first time trying this medication. I almost threw up in the grocery store, so I grabbed a box and took two right there in the aisle. I had to take a third 30 minutes later and a fourth an hour later. Other than having to frequently chew the gross-tasting tablets... the only unusual side effect noticed was a stinging/burning sensation on the sides of my tongue. Not sure if this is just a sensitivity or if anyone else has experienced this? The burn does go away, and then it's about time for another tablet... overall they do help with nausea, although at a minimal amount of time for me. Good to have on hand for a quick fix until other medications can be taken."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have very frequent acid reflux and related nausea, and this medicine works where other medicines haven't. I can take it the moment the nausea or acidic burn in my throat starts, and it will usually subside shortly after. Sometimes it takes a few repeated doses, but it definitely beats the vomiting I used to experience. The taste isn't great, and some doses taste worse than others, but it's tolerable. It definitely tastes better than Tums or Rolaids, and it works better for me than those do. It's also kind of hard to find around here sometimes, so I tend to stockpile a few boxes when I find it."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was diagnosed with mono last week and started to get severe nausea a couple of days ago. I was prescribed Zofran, but I sometimes have strange effects with that medication. My boyfriend picked up some Emetrol for me from the pharmacy, and within minutes after the first dose, my nausea subsided. I have been using it since, and I haven't had any nausea. It is great for quick relief. I highly recommend this!!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "When I was around 8, we had a babysitter that used Emetrol. She showed it to my mom. I had been sick and made me feel so much better! My mom kept it in the house always after that day! I swear by it and used it with my children and now my grandchildren! Great product. If you need to vomit, it will make you. If not, it makes you feel much better."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have been having severe sudden onset nausea during the night, and Nauzene is the only med that will stop it quickly, but for me, it only lasts about 2 hours, and then I have to take more. But my bile duct is blocked, so that is the reason for my nausea. The Nauzene does help, though."

For Nausea/Vomiting "So I took Plan B about a week ago and just now started feeling very nauseous. It lasted the whole night, and I took my last Zofran, that helped for about 6 hours, but then it was back. I picked up this medicine to help relieve the nausea, and it definitely helped! I’m still not 100%, but I’m a lot better than I was a couple of hours ago. Give this a try!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I frequently experience nausea and vomiting as a side effect of a prescription medication. I do have a prescription for Zofran, and it works amazingly, but it causes severe constipation, which brings a whole other host of issues. I think the Nauzene works just as well for nausea, but I’ve found both of them can miss the mark for preventing vomiting after a certain point. It’s one of those things, if you’re going to vomit, you’re going to vomit, and there is no stopping it. I’ve found the nausea begins to subside immediately, but I usually try to chew it and only swallow half, and then I let the other half continue to dissolve under my tongue. I’m so pleased with the flavor too. The cherry doesn’t taste like cough syrup, it’s sweet but not overly sweet, and there is relatively little aftertaste. Oh, and it’s super cheap."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I first bought Nauzene when I had my tonsillectomy surgery, and I got nauseous from the pain meds. It helped me from not throwing up and hemorrhaging. Now, a couple of years later, and almost expired, I woke up with extreme nausea and vomiting from an upset stomach. I took Nauzene - cherry flavor (not too bad, pretty good), and my nausea went away so I could relax and get some sleep! Only thing I wish the expiration date was longer. I have tons of tablets left, and they will expire soon. I don't use them often, but I love to have them around."
