Hello,
If I understand correctly, you have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that prevent you from taking Gravol.
In order to answer you better, I would need more information:
1- How long have you been sick?
2- How much vomiting and diarrhea?
3- Is there blood or yellow bile in the vomit or diarrhea?
4- Do you have other symptoms, such as fever or pain?
5- Do you have signs of dehydration (little or no urine, dark urine, dry mouth, headaches, confusion)?
6- Are you taking any medications?
7- Do you have any health problems?
8- Do you have any allergies?
I am waiting for your answers,
Marie-Laurence Gauthier, pharmacist.

Very good.
Be careful of dehydration, if you are throwing up a lot. 30 to 60 minutes after your Gravol you could take some liquid starting with 1 tablespoon and increase slowly if it is well tolerated after a few minutes.
Please note that some medications must be suspended on sick days, you could contact your pharmacy tomorrow about this if needed. They could also send you oral rehydration packets. This is the best way to avoid dehydration.
