A member asked:
Is it safe to take antiemetics if you have food poisoning? i have emetophobia (phobia of vomit) i will do it unless it's very dangerous.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: They are safe but probably will not be very effective. For the next 36 hour consume only fluid such as gator aide or chicken broth. I symptoms persist or you are bringing up coffee ground material or blood see your physician.
