What anti emetic is used for Gastroenteritis? - correct
answer- If anti emetics are used, you can use
Promethazine, for an adult they would receive 12.5 to
25milligrams every four to six hours. Pediatric patients would
get 0.5 milligrams per kilogram at four to six hour intervals with
a maximum of 25 milligrams. This should not be given in children
less than two and it can cause fatal respiratory depression in
children less than two, it can cause respiratory depression in
adults when given with other central nervous system
depressants. Promethazine is teratogenic and should be used
cautiously in dehydrated patients and should be given deep IM if
it is required to be given intramuscularly.
Selective 4-HT3 receptor antagonists such as Ondansetron are
much preferred over Promethazine. The side effect profile is
much better. It is not recommended in children less than four
but for children four to 11 they can have four milligrams every
four hours Follow-up: You should contact these patients via
, telephone within about 24 hours and then again in about three
days.
