Zofran (Ondansetron) is a serotonin antagonist (5-HT3) and not an anti-cholinergic, safe in geriatric patients. Compazine is a dopamine antagonist, and unsafe for geriatrics. Scopolamine is anti-cholinergic and Benadryl, Dramamine, and Antivert are anti-histamines. These should be avoided in geriatrics based on the Beers Criteria.
