Which drug classification includes Dramamine, Marinol, Phenergan, Reglan, Tigan?

• A. Antiemetic
• B. Antidote
• C. Antihistamine
• D. Antibiotic

Answer: (A)

The common theme is preventing or relieving nausea and vomiting. Dramamine, Marinol, Phenergan, Reglan, and Tigan all act as antiemetics, though they work in different ways: dimenhydrinate and promethazine are antihistamines with antiemetic effects; dronabinol is a cannabinoid that helps suppress nausea; metoclopramide blocks dopamine receptors and speeds gastric emptying; trimethobenzamide is another antiemetic agent. Since the group’s defining purpose is antiemetic action, this is the correct classification. They aren’t antidotes, antibiotics, or a shared antihistamine class.
