How often can I give Cerenia 24mg to my dog for vomiting?

My dog has been experiencing some bouts of vomiting, and a friend mentioned that Cerenia might help. I have a 24mg tablet, but I'm unsure about how often it's safe to administer it to him. Could you let me know the recommended dosage frequency for Cerenia to make sure I'm giving him the right care?
