Metoclopramide is a medicine used to abort vomiting. For the 29th time we are here at Mother Seton Hospital for the confinement of my 10 year old son due to cyclic vomiting syndrome (cvs). He was given metoclopramide half vial, injected in the iv to abort vomiting. There’s a question running in my mind today., why would the doctors not prescribe metoclopramide tablet to my son which I can give at home to abort vomiting . Can I not give the tablet at the onset of vomiting so that vomiting will stop and going to the hospital can be avoided?Is this drugs dangerous that doctors are hesitant in prescribing it outside the hospital.
Is there any alternative way that can prevent vomiting. We tried massage theraphy, magnet theraphy, color theraphy, charcoal drink. Sometimes these theraphies helps, other times it did not, so we end up in the hospital.
These coming days I’ll try to list down all the food intake and all the activities done of my son to rule out the real trigger. The saying prevention is better than cure is indeed true.
