How about temazepam (brand name Restoril), usually given in doses of 7.5, 15 or

30 mg. Margaret

>>> 03/19/01 07:21PM >>>

Doc spells damazapen or damazapem. I cannot find this.

I don't think he means diazepam, since he already

dictated that.

Thanks for any help.

I've checked QLDBE 2001 and I found Propulsid but that's not a laxative.

Sorry I can't be more help .

Yep-I think it is Propulsid. At first, I thought no because I thought this

drug was only for GERD, but I looked in QLDB and it says one of the uses is

for refractory constipation. Dosage forms are 10 and 20 mg. Also comes in

oral suspension: 1 mg/ml (450 mL).

I thought so too. I had a relative who used to be on it and was taken off of

it because the FDA had said it was unsafe (I can't remember why). That was

another reason I questioned whether it was Propulsid or not for that reason,

but I have the QLDB 2001 and it doesn't say anything about it being

discontinued in there. Can anyone comment on this?

Holly :o)

I heard that too. I checked on Google, and it has been taken off the market.

I've noticed in QLDBE that most of the drugs that have been discontinued are

marked as such in the database, but I guess they missed this one.

I do a lot of GI outpatient notes and they prescribe Propulsid all the time,

but never once have I heard it used as a laxative. But then I found this:

Treatment of nocturnal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also

demonstrated

effectiveness for gastroparesis, refractory constipation, and nonulcer

dyspepsia.

What's QLDBE? I'm using Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference

software that I ordered recently.

Y'know, I think you're right, I forgot about that.

My GI guys have been prescribing Aciphex a lot

more these days, and something else I can't remember.

Okay real shot in the dark here--methenamine. It is an antibiotic and also a

prophylaxis or suppression of recurrent UTIs. Dosage forms are 1 g twice

daily or 500 mg/1 g 4 times/day after meals and at bedtime. The brand name

for this is Dehydral. I hope this helps!

How about gabapentin? anticonvulsant; investigational (orphan) for

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Could it be Seroquel? It is an antipsychotic agent.

Nausea and vomiting possibly secondary to gastroparesis. We will try adding

s/l " ??Metacorbimide " 5 mg q.h.s. and see how the patient does over the next

1-1/2 to 2 weeks.

Just a stab in the dark here, but how about metoclopramide? Hope this helps
