About Benton-4 Disintegrating Tablet

Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit while vomiting is the natural response to the body to forcefully discharge the stomach contents.

Key Benefits

Benton-4 Disintegrating Tablet belongs to a group of medications called anti-emetics used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with conditions like cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, pregnancy and motion sickness in adults and children above 4 years of age.

Benton-4 Disintegrating Tablet acts by inhibiting the release of this serotonin, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
