A member asked:
Is vomiting from norovirus usually resistant to iv antiemetics given in the er? i read the vomiting is so bad that nothing can control it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti emetics: A number of anti emetics, both oral, rectal and IV exist to improve the symptoms of nausea and vomiting regardless of the cause. Norovirus can present with profound symptoms, but these symptoms are typically controllable. It is important to be certain that your symptoms are not caused by something more ominous if conventional therapies are not effective.
