Q

Metoclopramide (Reglan) Pearls

A

Used off-label for post-op nausea/vomiting that is unresponsive to other meds (ie. Zofran)

May result in an earlier tolerance to solid foods in patients exhibiting signs/sx of ileus

Can also be used for patients experiencing GERD and is safe for the pregnant patient

Use short term only (4-12 weeks), usually on inpatient basis. Increased duration of use is associated with tardive dyskinesia.

Q

“Banana Bag” pearls

A

The use of “banana bags” has not been well studied, and may not meet the specific nutritional requirements for patients. The 100-mg dose of thiamine is thought to be insufficient in the treatment of patients with suspected or confirmed Wernicke’s; furthermore, it should be dosed every 8-12 hours to optimize levels for blood-brain barrier transport. In addition, it may serve a better purpose to evaluate for specific nutritional deficiencies (A, C, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, etc.) based on symptoms and laboratory evaluation. This would allow clinicians to provide more definitive treatment for isolated nutritional deficiencies rather than give low, ineffective doses provided in the multivitamin supplement.
