title: Anti-emetics.
abstract: Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of migraine, which can be controlled with a variety of anti-emetics including phenothiazines and antihistamines. Metoclopramide and domperidone have an additional prokinetic effect which may be important in migraine to overcome gastric stasis and enhance absorption of oral medication.
