Treatment guidelines recommend the use of antiemetics as adjunctive therapy – an add on to the antimigraine therapy.[Marmura et al., 2015; Worthington et al., 2013] Certain antiemetics are strongly recommended alongside migraine medication in patients with migraine for the relief of nausea.[Marmura et al., 2015; Worthington et al., 2013]
