Cerenia requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

Possible side effects of Cerenia:

If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop giving Cerenia and seek emergency veterinary care: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; hives); sudden onset of diarrhea; vomiting; shock; seizures; coma.

For prevention of motion sickness, Cerenia should be given 2 hours before traveling, but you should not feed your pet for at least 1 hour before giving Cerenia.
