What medicine stops nausea fast?

There are two main types of OTC medications used to treat nausea and vomiting:
Bismuth subsalicylate, the active ingredient in OTC medications like Kaopectate® and Pepto-Bismol™, protects your stomach lining. Other medicines include cyclizine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, and meclizine.

Because many people associate sweet flavors with contentment, a soda might further help bring that queasy feeling under control. In addition, cola has the same ingredient, phosphoric acid, found in an effective over-the-counter anti-nausea drug, called Emetrol, notes Dr. Szarka.
