Glucose/fructose/phosphoric acid (trade name Emetrol) is an over-the-counter antiemetic taken to relieve nausea and vomiting.[1] Made by WellSpring Pharmaceutical Corporation, it was formerly distributed by McNeil Consumer Healthcare.

History

[edit]

Emetrol was created by Kinney and Company of Columbus, Indiana and was first used in 1949.[2]

It is a phosphorated carbohydrate solution, and comes in syrup form.

Contraindications

[edit]

Since Emetrol contains fructose it is contraindicated for people with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI). In diabetes patients, it can cause potentially harmful hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar).[3]
