Medical Treatment of Habitual Vomiting

Summary Fourteen cases of habitual vomiting have been treated with alimemazin, given as a syrup, containing 0.5 mg/ml. In 12 cases good results were obtained, the patients having a good weight gain and no or only a few vomitings a day. Even if the disease in most cases is harmless and the vomitings often cease spontaneously after a few months duration, usually when the child is about one year old, the favourable effect of alimemazin is of great value not only for the small patients themselves but certainly also for their mothers in handling their babies during the distressing and tiresome period of habitual vomiting. No side‐effects of alimemazin were reported.
