Ondansetron vs Phenergan
 | Ondansetron |  | Phenergan |  |
| This medication is used alone or with other medications to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer drug treatment (chemotherapy) and radiation therapy. It is also used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting after surgery. It works by blocking one of the body's natural substances (serotonin) that causes vomiting. | Phenergan is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting related to certain conditions (such as before/after surgery, motion sickness). It is also used to treat allergy symptoms such as rash, itching, and runny nose. It may be used to help you feel sleepy/relaxed before and after surgery or to help certain narcotic pain relievers (such as meperidine) work better. It may also be used for a short time to treat a runny nose due to the common cold. | |||

| Add Ondansetron review While using this drug, I am still nauseated and vomiting. I was currently taking promethazine but my Doctor switched me to ondansetron. I am waiting for a call back from my Doctor to switch me back. Nausea vomiting and diarrhea for 4 days.Went to hospital ER. Given Ondansetron HCL 4mgm tab. After 3 dAys on med no more nausea and vomiting but still feel awful. Will call Dr. Was taking the round pill and had some of the ones that dissolve in your mouth, both worked well. Just got a new refill and now it's oval in shape and does NOT work as well. It is probably an insurance perference. I am fed up with people who are capable of using a computer and filing claims taking charge of my health care. I hope they like the bills when I end up in er and hosp. stay because they are allowed to be doctors. It's time we all stood up to these people and demand the best available care in aspects of our health care needs. | Add Phenergan review I got sick in April. Noone could figure out. This medication and adderal and pain meds are giveing drs time to figure out what's makeing me very ill. I have nission so should not get sick. But I was dry heaving puking all time. I had sevear fagutie caused me sleep 16-22 hours day and nausea. So tryed adderal alone hopeing it would stop nausea if I could stop being zombie. Helped me function but ... just started it. Phenergan works great for me when I have severe vomiting from severe migranes, I have had it both intervenously and in tablet form. I just want everyone to know the dangers when receiving this drug intervenously. This drug is to be dilutted and injected very slowly into a iv and not to be administered into a iv in the wrist or hand. I have severe blood clots in my arm from receiving this medic ... Chronic Pain/ UC pt. for 3 years,nauseated all day long. Finally my third pain doctor tried this and 50-75mg 3x a day calms me down but im not getting this tired feeling everyone is talking about? | |||
