==Chemotherapy== [[Chemotherapy]] is a major cause of emesis, and often can cause severe and frequent emetic responses. This is because chemotherapy agents circulating in the blood activate the CTZ in such a way as to cause emesis.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Edwards|first1=CM|title=Chemotherapy induced emesis--mechanisms and treatment: a review|journal=Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine|date=November 1988|volume=81|issue=11|pages=658β62|pmid=3062170|pmc=1291846|doi=10.1177/014107688808101115}}</ref> Patients receiving chemotherapy are often prescribed antiemetic medications.
