Suppositories: Zofran, (ondansetron) or generic odansetron, is probably the most popular. When you have intense nausea or are vomiting, many of the anti-emetic medications are not effective when given in oral form. Other medications can be given in rectal suppository form or even IV if you end up in the er.

No one likes it!: Everyone hates the reflex process of vomiting, and for good reason: you cannot breathe, and have no control of your body. Sometimes it is medically necessary, though, or even life-preserving! anti-emetic drugs exist nevertheless, and they do work. Promethazine and Prochlorperazine are older and cheaper, while ondansetron and ganisetron are newer and more expensive.
