Hi Med
>I'd hate to be "treated" for addiction with Stelazine
Me too! I did think the article was interesting though.
>Are there any non-phenothiazine anti-emetic drugs?
Yes, there are many........
Domperidone (Motilium) - a selective D2 antagonist which doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. As a result, extrapyramidal side effects are very uncommon. Domperidone is not available in the US.
Metoclopramine (Reglan, Maxolon) - a drug related to the antipsychotics sulpiride and amisulpride.
Ondansetron (Zofran) and granisetron (Kytril). These drugs act at 5-HT3 receptors and are very useful for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
Cyclizine (Valoid, Marezine) - an antihistamine and anticholinergic.
There are many more.......
Kind regards
Ed
