Brief Answer:
ondansetron - Generic name, the brand name does not matter, ask your pharmacist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello there

There's no cure for nausea,treatment mainly to be focused on identifying the underlying cause..

However there are many other drugs like ondansetron, metoclopramide, meclizine, palonosetron etc which can help prevent the nausea.. These are the Generic names of the medicines, the brand name does not matter, ask your pharmacist.

But main thing is to avoid the triggers that induce the vomiting sensation.. Remove any underlying cause..
