zofran vs compazine

I used Zofran and compazine in the past (not on tx) Zofran If it's okay for him to take had no sides and worked the best for me, i've heard others say the same thing.

If you are on treatment, the first thing I would do is to call my doctor and ask them for some compazine or some Zofran. Zofran works really well, but is quite expensive so the compazine is the next best thing. Things you can try at home include eating a couple of soda crackers, or try sipping on some ginger ale. One other thing that helped me was the juice off the can of peaches. You will probably get more suggestions, but this is a start. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Ryan! I love my compazine and I'm going to stick with it. I tried taking the Zofran the other night for anxiety induced nausea and it did NOTHING! But then I was too scared to take a compazine on top of it. On my really bad times if I have alot of anxiety and nausea with it, I'll take 2.5mg of valium and a 10mg pill of compazine and I'm good.

Zofran dose could go up, but still might not help with nausea. Maybe compazine could work?

yeah, promethazine is generic for phenergan

I have told the docs and they say sometimes it happens but whatever it is is definetely not suppose to be happening. I take zofran,dicyclimine,& compazine but nothing helps it.

For instance, she cannot take any antihistamines, nor phenergan, or compazine because they result in severe akathesia. She can tolerate Reglan and is on that 4 times a day and has been prescribed Zofran, which helps some. However, her insurance company will only pay for 12 Zofran (generic) per month and she needs to take 4 a day!

I have severe pain, nausea and vomiting 24/7 and am on narcotic pain meds and Zofran, Compazine, and phenergan for the vomiting. I have a nasal J-tube right now to try to get in some nutrition because of the malnutrition. Thank you for any input any one would have that may help me with this decision.

Ondansetron (Zofran®) 8mg-16mg (They come in 4, 8 and 16mg tabs. You might need 16-32mg. Granisetron (Kytril®) 1mg tabs Aprepitant (Emend®) is new, and is used to prevent (not treat) nausea. Studies show it to be very effective especially when used in combination with the two drugs above and decadron (dexamethasone).. Palonosetron (Aloxi®) this is fairly new and only available IV, but it is the ONLY long-acting drug on the market—good for up to 5 days after administration.

There they gave me benadryl and compazine through an IV. Well I will tell you I would have much rather dealt with the headache than the reaction that I had to compazine. I feel hopeless, like "Am I really here? What's the point of life?" I feel afraid, jittery (I wanted to rip my IV out) paranoid, like I'm in a cloud, dizzy, I have insomnia, can't focus/concentrate I don't feel like myself. I feel like I am a different person.

s my sister who normally feels worse that I do on my worse day and I see the fear in her eyes....I am taking phenergan and compazine for the nausea..but it's just not working. SOOOO any recommendations on nausea and nutrition that I might be able to handle right now??? Thanks ladies..

I am 9 weeks pregnant with #2 and the nausea is debilitating. I have a script for zofran, it doesn't work. I can not take reglan, phenergan, compazine, or emetrol. It doesn't matter if I eat. The nausea gets worse as the day goes on. It's not quite as bad if I stay flat, however I work full time and have a 4 year old. I was sick my entire pregnancy with DD. I puked more with her. This nausea is just about intolerable.

Im 27 years old and a mommy to 1. I had my gallbladder removed last tuesday and am still having problems eating. My appetite is non existent and im constantly nauseous. nausea 24/7! So far ive tried Phenergan, Zofran and Compazine. Nothing helps. I've lost 15 lbs which has put me at 95 lbs. I feel dizzy, malnourished and just over all tired.

Compazine suppositories work great and it's the only thing that did work for me And you don't have to swallow them - in the traditional sense that is.

I've had zofran but the taste does nothing to help the nausea lol. Right now I am taking compazine, which they use for chemotherapy a lot. Half the time it works, the other half not so much.

i did not want to resort to the heavy hitters i used for chemo. i believe i used zofran and compazine but cant recall which worked!! i will start with the peppermint and licorice and see if they help before bringing in the big guns. peppermint oil for work days is a good idea too. as for pot i dare not go down that road as i might like it too much altho i preferred other substances in the olden days!

Everyone is different, but if a med isn't working don't let her stay on it to long. That is a mistake a lot of us make. Just figuring after awhile that we just have to live with it. Whatever "it" may be. Compazine did nothing for me, but IV zofran works great, reg zofran is okay, but seemed to be less effective over time. Phenergan suppositories work well, but they make me sleepy whereas the pills don't. Different delivery system I think is what that is.

I lived with ice water by my bed at night. Taking prescribed Zofran (anti-emetic) and Reglan for the acidosis (neutralized the acid) - the throwing up constantly was wearing away the lining of my esophagus. Before my throat healed over a day or two, EVERYTHING hurt to eat. Then I'd throw up. With the meds, I could at least get a lil food down and keep it there.

I have hyperemesis graviderum, am at 14weeks, have had with every pregnancy I've had( the gnarly version of hg) and I'm taking both Reglan and Zofran. Not sure what a pic line is. I've also never had them try to give me steroids. Try asking about those ones I'm taking, they really help (antiemetics). Nothing even helps me (no crackers, no ginger etc.) unless it's those two together.

First treatment I was so sick I said I would never do another. I had Emend, Aloxi, Zofran, Compazine, Ativan, Phenergan and every other anti nauseant imaginable. Could not pass anything between my lips for several days. Second treatment (done as a promise to my husband) landed me in the hospital for 10 days on IV fluids. I will not be taking it again. I would suggest Emend and Aloxi for your sister along with dosage reduction if she plans to continue this treatment.

IF these suggestions are not working for you, your doctor might be able to prescribe something such as phenergan or compazine for relief. Good luck!

I hav been taking Zofran and it is acctually making me sick, I am throwing up terrible , I try to hold off for atleast 3 hrs, but that is it. A friend of mine has alot of problems with his stomach, he takes Raglan, he was going to let me try some, I am desperate here, I am willing to try it? Do you think me foolish?

They both work pretty good for me..the zofran does work a little better for me though but it makes me so constipated (tmi) and the promethazine will make you so sleepy! I still need both occasionally :/ 32 weeks today!
