Drug Details
Trimethobenzamide, commonly known by the brand name Tigan, is a medication designed to alleviate nausea and vomiting, which may occur due to stomach flu or after surgical procedures. As an antiemetic, its primary function is to interrupt the signals in the brain's vomiting center, thereby preventing the urge to vomit. This drug is approved for adult use only and is available in two forms: a generic oral capsule taken three to four times daily, and a brand-only injection. The injection's dosage is tailored based on the severity of symptoms and individual response to treatment. Though effective, patients may experience side effects such as diarrhea, drowsiness, and headache. It is critical to consult healthcare professionals before starting this medication to ensure it is safe and suitable for individual health conditions. Trimethobenzamide injections should not be administered to children.
