'''Glucose/fructose/phosphoric acid''' (trade name '''Emetrol''') is an [[over-the-counter]] [[antiemetic]] taken to relieve [[nausea]] and [[vomiting]]. Made by WellSpring Pharmaceutical Corporation, it was formerly distributed by [[McNeil Consumer Healthcare]]. 

==History==
Emetrol was created by Kinney and Company of Columbus, Indiana and was first used in 1949.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://emetrol.com/history.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110305165444/http://www.emetrol.com/history.html |archive-date=2011-03-05 |title=History of Emetrol, a Classic American Remedy for Nausea}}</ref>

It is a phosphorated [[carbohydrate]] [[Solution (chemistry)|solution]], and comes in [[Syrup#Pharmaceutical syrup|syrup]] form.

==Contraindications==
Since Emetrol contains [[fructose]] it is contraindicated for people with [[hereditary fructose intolerance]] (HFI). In [[diabetes]] patients, it can cause potentially harmful [[hyperglycaemia]] (high blood sugar).<ref>{{drugs.com|cdi|emetrol-solution}}</ref>
