Emetrol Coupons & Prices

Emetrol is an over-the-counter phosphorated carbohydrate solution used for occasional nausea and upset stomach, and while it doesn't require a prescription, an rx.com emetrol coupon can still help you find the lowest price nearby before you check out — enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you.

What Is Emetrol and How Does It Work?

Emetrol (also sold as Children's Emetrol) is a phosphorated carbohydrate solution containing dextrose, levulose (fructose), and phosphoric acid. It's classified as an antiemetic, or hyperosmolar carbohydrate-phosphoric acid solution, and is available over the counter without a prescription. This same formulation is also sold under other store-brand names.

It's used for occasional nausea and upset stomach linked to overindulgence in food and drink, including mild, self-limited stomach upset. It is not FDA-established as effective for nausea or vomiting from other causes, such as motion sickness, pregnancy, or chemotherapy, and shouldn't be used beyond short-term self-care for those situations.

Comparing Prices and Saving on Emetrol

Because Emetrol is sold over the counter, there's no manufacturer copay card to apply here — but the price you pay can still vary from one pharmacy to the next. An rx.com coupon lets you compare pricing at pharmacies near you before you buy, whether you're picking up the regular formula or the children's version.

Emetrol vs. Other Nausea Remedies

Emetrol isn't the only option for occasional nausea or upset stomach. Pepto-Bismol is another OTC option, though it works differently and is generally used for upset stomach, indigestion, and diarrhea rather than being marketed specifically as an antiemetic. Dramamine and Bonine are OTC options generally used for motion-sickness-related nausea.

For nausea and vomiting tied to a specific medical condition or treatment, a doctor may instead prescribe Zofran (ondansetron) or Phenergan (promethazine), which require a prescription and work through different mechanisms. Ask your provider or pharmacist which option fits your situation, especially if your nausea isn't from occasional overindulgence.

Emetrol Safety Information

Emetrol contains fructose, so it should not be used by anyone with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI). It also contains a significant amount of sugar (dextrose and fructose), so people with diabetes should use caution and talk to their doctor or pharmacist before use.

• Do not dilute Emetrol with water or other liquids, as this reduces its effectiveness.
• Do not take more than 5 doses in 1 hour.
• Stop use and ask a doctor if symptoms persist, return, or get worse.

Emetrol has no boxed warning and is not a controlled substance. This is general information, not medical advice — talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether Emetrol is right for you.
