phenergan or zofran

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
Phenergan and zofran are the most common prescriptions used for nausea associated with food poisoning. If the vomiting is severe, the phenergan even comes in a rectal suppository and the zofran comes in an orally dissolving tablet.
