Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for reducing Post Operative Nausea and/or Vomiting (PONV) in a human patient in need of general anesthesia. Such methods may include scheduling surgery for the human patient and administering to the patient one or more series of prescribed medicines days during a regimen preceding general anesthesia to condition receptors involved in the nausea and/or vomiting reflex.

Abstract: Methods, compositions, systems, and packaging are disclosed for reducing postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) in a human patient in need of general anesthesia for surgery. Such methods may include scheduling a surgery for the human patient, and administering to the patient one or more series of prescribed medicines for at least three successive days during a regimen immediately preceding general anesthesia. Compositions may include cholinergic receptor agonists, muscarinic receptor agonists, dopamine receptor agonists, MAO inhibitors, serotonin receptor agonists, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin releasing agents, serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors, opioids, or analgesics.
