I am working on natural anti vomiting drugs. In this concern I have published an state of the art review. But still I need recipes (how to use) for natural anti vomiting drugs published in different ethnomedicinal and ethnobotanical surveys.
Please share only the published data. I attach here my state of the art review.
Data Anti-emetic effects of bioactive natural products
None work even remotely as well as current US FDA-approved antiemetics. Source: I underwent chemotherapy and tried everything. I know this wasn't the question you asked but I figured I'd throw this out there since it is relevant. Natural antiemetics can't compete with scientifically-proven pharmaceuticals already available. Period...and feel free to look at my publication record full of natural product research, which I normally advocate...but not for anti-emetic activity because they are extremely weak compared to the many pharmaceutical alternatives. Best of luck and be sure to let me know if you discover something new and prove its efficacy in a placebo-controlled, double blind clinical trial.
Dear Dr. Adam,
I have found patents on google patents regarding natural antiemetics
(cannabidiol and Scopolamine).
What do you think about that? These patents required the approval from US FDA or no need. What do you think about these naturally derived Natural antiemetic patents can these patents compete with scientifically-proven pharmaceuticals already available. Please mention your precious opinion. I am waiting for your valuable comments.
For reference I am mentioning these 5 patents as follows.
1. Antiemetic compositions
U.S.Patent Applications
Patent #5605928 Issued on February 25, 1997.International Class: A61K 031/35
2. Compositions comprising cannabinoids for treatment of nausea, vomiting, emesis, motion sickness or like conditions. WO 2003063847 A1
3. Anti-nausea and anti-vomiting activity of cannabidiol compounds.US 8119697 B2
4. Intranasal formulation containing scopolamine and method of treating motion sickness.WO 1999012544 A1
5. Scopolamine sublingual spray for the treatment of motion sickness
US 20060193784 A1
I tried cannabinoids during chemo (helped with appetite but not nausea). More specifically though, I used marinol. It's possible that a concentrated CBD extract may work better (I didn't have access to these bc medical MJ is not legalized in FL yet). I didn't try scopolamine during chemo but it failed me when I tried it for sea-sickness so I doubt it would have worked. Hope this helps and best of luck in your research.
