I was prescribed a drug called Ondansetron, to use after my super-expensive Emend is done (first three days after chemo). My brother, an RN, also suggested this one and has used it himself for seasickness. I haven't thrown up once, and I took it at the very first HINT of any queasiness. Never once did it go further.
