Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of four antiemetic regimens for the treatment of cisplatin-induced vomiting.
To improve the treatment of cisplatin-induced acute emesis and vomiting, the adjuvant effect of two different doses of metoclopramide and metoclopramide plus droperidol was compared to a defined standard antiemetic regiment. ⋯ Substantial improvement in the control of cisplating-induced vomiting can be achieved by adding high-dose metoclopramide and droperidol to a basic antiemetic regimen consisting prochlorperazine, dexamethasone and thiethylperazine.
