Nausea and vomiting are often symptoms associated with gastrointestinal infections, such as viral gastroenteritis or food poisoning. Antimetil can help control these symptoms, preventing dehydration and contributing to the rapid recovery of patients.

Patients suffering from cancer and undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy may experience severe nausea and vomiting as side effects of these therapies. Antimetil is used to control these symptoms and improve patients' quality of life during treatment.
