MAROPITANT:-
Is this a form of anti-emetic can be used to help stop vomiting whilst continuing with further investigations? If the initial exam, history taking doesn’t confirm an obstruction as a cause. And the initial rads don’t show gas dilation in the SI. Is it appropriate to use this type of anti-emetic in the period where we wait to repeat the rads and/or arrange for US? I know avoiding a prokinetic like metoclopromide is essential in obstruction or suspected cases. Wasn’t sure about using a Maropitant until a further work up can be completed.
Thanks!
