Embramine

Embramine is a antihistamine and anticholinergic used as an antiemetic. It is most commonly used to treat motion sickness and the side effects of opioid analgesics and anesthetics. The exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed to work by blocking the action of histamine in the body, which is involved in the vomiting reflex.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Embramine is a H1 receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the action of histamine at the H1 receptor. This is thought to be the primary mechanism by which it prevents vomiting. It also has some anticholinergic effects, which may contribute to its antiemetic properties.
