About Vometil 5 mg Tablet 10's

Vometil 5 mg Tablet 10's belongs to a class of antipsychotic medications called phenothiazines used to treat nausea and vomiting during a migraine, schizophrenia, mania, anxiety in the short term, and vertigo (dizziness) due to ear problems such as Meniere’s syndrome. Nausea and vomiting are not diseases but are symptoms of many conditions like infections, motion sickness, an early stage of pregnancy, and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects a person's ability to feel, think and behave clearly. Mania is a mental condition that causes intense excitement, high energy, and delusions (misbeliefs). Anxiety is a mental health disorder associated with fear, worry, and excessive nervousness. 

Vometil 5 mg Tablet 10's contains Prochlorperazine which works by inhibiting a natural chemical in the brain (dopamine) that stimulates the vomiting center (chemoreceptor trigger zone – CTZ), thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nausea and vomiting: Nausea is a feeling of uneasiness in the stomach that often comes before vomiting. On the other hand, vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of stomach contents through the mouth. In short nausea and vomiting are not diseases but are symptoms of many conditions like infections, motion sickness, an early stage of pregnancy, and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). There is a receptor located in our brain known as the chemoreceptor zone (CTZ) that controls vomiting.

 

Schizophrenia: It is a mental disorder that affects a person's ability to feel, think and behave clearly.

 

Anxiety: It is a mental health disorder associated with fear, worry, and excessive nervousness that may interfere with daily activities. The anxiety symptoms include feeling more stress than required for that event and a lack of ability to set aside restlessness and worry.
