It seems that for me at least Phenergan is strictly dispensed by the Pharmacy and has to have a written physician order and has to be mixed in 50 ml of NS minimum and given over 30 mins. I believe this is a hospital policy since they had a lawsuit due to an infiltration. So needless to say they took it off of the truck and gave us Zofran. BTW we give a lot more Zofran than we ever gave of Phenergan, guess our staff didn't like the side effects of Phenergan.

We don't hardly ever give it anymore unless Zofran doesn't work or pt has an allergy to it. Haven't given Benadryl for N/V yet never really thought about it.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
