Emesis and hiccough; treatment with chlorpromazine.

Thorazine was very effective in the control of vomiting, regardless of cause, in 20 cases in which it was used. It stopped hiccough in five of seven patients treated and partially controlled it in the other two. The drug was more effective when given intramuscularly than orally. Use of the drug intravenously was observed in one case; shock occurred soon after injection.

Control of nausea and vomiting; observations on the use of chlortrimeton (chlorprophenpyridamine maleate) syrup.

Chlor-Trimeton (chlorprophenpyridamine maleate) syrup was effective in preventing and controlling nausea and vomiting in 53 of 57 patients. In doses of one to four teaspoonfuls (2 to 8 mg.), it controlled nausea and vomiting following operative procedures, vomiting due to nonspecific causes, hyperemesis gravidarum, vomiting in altitude and radiation sickness, and vomiting in patients with carcinoma of the colon, acute pancreatitis, and poorly controlled diabetes. No untoward effects from the drug were noted. The syrup was easy to administer, rapidly absorbed, and apparently provided a local anesthetic effect on gastric mucosa.
