Categories: Prescription Medication
Description:
Compazine (prochlorperazine) is an antiemetic that can be used to treat nausea and vomiting from gastroenteritis, though it is not a first-line option. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain’s vomiting center. While it may provide symptom relief, it is less well studied for gastroenteritis compared to ondansetron and can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or movement-related problems (extrapyramidal symptoms). Because of these risks, it is generally reserved for adults when other safer agents, like ondansetron, are unavailable or not effective.
