Yes : Yes, no problem adding Tylenol (acetaminophen) to your regimen.

Question 2

i'm 15 weeks pregnant and have been prescribed reglan (metoclopramide) and zofran odt at different periods. is it safe to alternate the two if one isn't working?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I assume you mean trying one then waiting and trying the other?  This is fine but be sure to follow the hourly dosing as written on the prescription bottle.

Question 3

can you use zofran and reglan (metoclopramide) together?

Accepted Answer

Anti-nausea: No. They are for the same medical condition.

Question 4

dr prescribed zofran and reglan (metoclopramide) for 10 yr old. reglan (metoclopramide) has blackbox warning. don't want to use it. what are the alternatives. zofran not working alone.

Accepted Answer

Many options, but: You should talk to your pcp and explain your concern(s). There re many antiemetics available. However, to take this type of medication without medical history is under-standard of care.
Example: Promethazine is a great antiemetic, but is contraindicated inchildren with liver disease. The medication interaction is a factor to consider. 
Hope it helps.

Question 5

nauseaous from 5/25-6/15/13. unable to keep food.water.meds.down became nauseous again 6/18/13.again nausea puking.reglan (metoclopramide) zofran no help.wat do i do?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: Need to be sure you aren't pregnant. If not you need to see a physician for a proper evaluation. Nausea with vomiting for this period of time is unusual and is not a self-limited disease. This cannot be diagnosed long distance. If Reglan (metoclopramide) and zofran are not helping, you need a thorough evaluation starting with lab work, plain abdominal xrays and probably upper endoscopy.

Question 6

starting out on prozac (20mg daily), zofran(8mg,twice daily), and cyclizine (before bed) for gastroparesis, thoughts? reglan (metoclopramide) didn't work out.

Accepted Answer

Gastroparesis: Hi, there is very scant evidence to suggest that SSRI medications (Prozac) are helpful in treatment of Gastroparesis and also because they can increase nausea they are not well tolerated, the other 2 med are used to treat nausea and they have been used to treat nausea in patients with gastroparesis. 
although SNRI and TCA could be more effective.

Question 7

i have lupus and am now taking tacrolimus but it makes me nauseated; i am allergic to zofran. ideas? compazine and reglan (metoclopramide) not strong enough.

Accepted Answer

Promethazine : Promethazine is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. It is a great antiemetic and may be a good replacement for zofran (ondansetron).
Rec.: talk to your treating physician before making any changes.
Hope it helps.
