MITIGATION OF VEISALGIA AND NAUSEA AND METHODS THEREOF

Abstract

An orally deliverable composition for reducing veisalgia symptoms and nausea in a subject includes dihydromyricetin, acetylcysteine, and an antiemetic that decreases smooth muscle contraction in the digestive tract. The antiemetic is selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, ginger, peppermint, lemon, bismuth subsalicylate, and combinations thereof in an amount sufficient to decrease smooth muscle contraction and inhibit nausea in the subject. The composition is packaged as a viscous liquid, capsule, tablet or chewable form for oral administration. The composition preferably contains no free form taurine amino acid to avoid taurine-induced nausea. The composition may contain neuroprotective forms of taurine such as magnesium acetyl taurate which is not known to cause nausea in subjects and which can pass the blood brain barrier to protect the brain from some effects of veisalgia.
