High-dose intravenous metoclopramide and intermittent intramuscular prochlorperazine and diazepam in the management of emesis induced by cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum. 1985

D M Luesley, and P B Terry, and K K Chan

Intravenous metoclopramide and IM prochlorperazine and diazepam were compared in the management of vomiting occurring during treatment with cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (cis-platinum). A total of 104 cycles in 30 patients were evaluated. Twenty-two patients took part in a cross-over study in which emetic profiles for each patient managed with each anti-emetic schedule were compared. In all, 44 cycles of treatment in 22 patients were evaluated as part of a cross-over study. No significant difference in emetic control was observed between the two anti-emetic regimens. The side-effects observed using IV metoclopramide included extrapyramidal phenomena (19%) and flushing attacks (16%).
