Case Reports
Pre-emptive metoclopramide and ondansetron for nausea and vomiting associated with iloprost infusions.
To assess the effectiveness of ondansetron in relieving symptoms of nausea and vomiting which were refractory to metoclopramide and cyclizine, in a patient receiving iloprost infusions. ⋯ Ondansetron was found to be effective at abolishing symptoms of vomiting and partially effective against symptoms of nausea. It may prove to be a useful treatment modality to allow the patient to tolerate further infusions of iloprost where nausea and vomiting has failed to respond to other agents.
