Does perphenazine count as an anti-emetic?

[Vivian]

And, is it an effective anti-emetic?

Not really an "anti-emetic", but you can use it for that. Works in the same way as meto but is much more antipsychotic and has a higher chance of negative side effects like EPS if you overdose them. So be careful with it.

Ok, how do I get metoclopramide from the doctor's office? It reacts badly to perphenazine, according to what I read on the web. Are there any other antiemetics that work for the amptypline cocktail?

 

[chrijo]

It makes no sense to combine metoclopramide and perphenazine. No doctor would prescribe that at the same time.

Choose one of them and combine it with dimenhydrinat (=OTC) in normal dosage.

 

[Vivian]

Ok, how about getting prochlorperazine? Would a doctor prescribe that with perphenazine?
Or should I just use perphenazine?

 

[chrijo]

That doesn't make any sense either. A doctor would only try them individually until one of them achieves the desired effect.

Anti-emetic is a very complex topic, there are far too many factors that can cause vomiting. There is no guarantee :-(

I'll just use perphanzine then, its easily accessible for me to get.
