What drug would stop nausea and vomiting caused by viral gastroenteritis, that doesnt have heart related side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call PCP: and he will prescribed Zofran ( ondansetron) ) or , less likely, Tigan ( trimethobenxanmide) or Compazine ( prochlorperazinen ). I suggest following a clear fluid diet as follows: No solid food for 24-48hrs Force fluids: Electrolytes rich 8-10 8 oz. glasses of Powerade, G, Vitamin water, Pedialyte and sugar water. Avoid ALL citrus, alcohol and NSAIDS (Advil. Aspirin or Aleve) Call physician for protracted vomiting. Jell-O made with Powerade, Vitamin Water, or G-OK After 48 hrs.: soft bland diet: boiled chicken, dried tuna, mashed potatoes. Must be passing urine every 2-3 hours, if not, increase fluid intake.
