The patient was on both at the hospital, I contacted the prescriber and they are aware of the interaction as well. They said that give
With regards to the general ( and non-evidence) based approach to holding GLPs before surgeries requiring anesthesia. Have any of your surgical departments incorporated using metoclopramide the day before surgeries as a one time dose to help “clear out” the stomach contents? Similar to how you wou

I have a patient who takes Ziprasidone. Metoclopramide and Promethazine are contraindicated. He says he is already taking Ondansetron, but has been pressuring me to fill the Metoclopramide Rx his Dr sent in because the Ondansetron is not enough. What are some good alternatives?
Would domperidone cancel out the effects of semaglutide? Everyone says the GLP1's work by delaying gastric emptying so what if a patient took motilium on the zempic? Would it still produce diabetic control sans weight loss? I guess you could consider similar effects with metoclopramide but that doe
Patient is on zonisamide and has seizures, and was prescribed metoclopramide. Another pharmacist has verified it and it was filled.

The surgery stared with two needles, one local anaesthetic and one I.V to administer the drugs, both of which were basically pai
I had absolutely debilitating digestive problems for years (given the IBS diagnosis of exclusion). I went to all of the “top GI docs'' and they had NO answers. They said we don’t know what’s wrong with you. One even told me it was all in my head. Take pill, drink water, eat fiber, take probiotics, e
**FIRST-LINE THERAPY** In terms of medical therapy, the usual approach has been to start an antispasmodic together with a laxative or an antidiarrhoeal depending on the predominant bowel pattern. Antispasmodics in general and specifically hyoscine and peppermint oil have been shown to improve IBS
