A method of controlling emesis caused by anticancer drugs with 2-alkoxy-N-(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl) benzamide-N-oxides having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is loweralkyl, and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo, 4,5-benzo, methylsulfonyl, loweralkoxy or Am and n is 1 or 2, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof is disclosed.

Method of using

N-(1-Substituted-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzamides having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is loweralkyl, cycloalkyl or phenylloweralkyl and R.sub.1 is selected from hydroxy, cyano, nitro, amino, methylamino, dimethylamino, halo, trifluoromethyl, loweralkyl, loweralkoxy, sulfamoyl or acetamido, and when n is more than 1 up to 3, R.sub.1 can be the same or different, are disclosed as having gastrokinetic and anti-emetic utility in animals and pharmaceutical compositions therefor. A process for preparing the compounds by oxidation of 1,2-disubstituted-N-(4-pyrazolidinyl)benzamides with a metal hypochlorite is disclosed.
