Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Debbie, We tried periactin 2 times before and it never worked. We have started megace and have added the pericatin for another trial. Drew--- From:rew Bill Matasker To: CHARGE Sent: Friday, September 03, 2004 10:05 AM Subject: RE: appetite Was it Periacten? That is what we used at one point. It does work. Re: appetite , We used a great medication for appetite enhancement when Bryce was transitioning from the tube to oral eating. It helped a lot. But I can't recall it's name right now. I'll think about it over the weeked to try and remember. It is an antihistamine so for us it killed two birds with one stone. It was prescribed by Dr. Christianne at Amos Cottage in Winston-Salem. She's the head of the feeding team there. I'll keep thinking and if I can't recall it, I'll call her up. Deedee P.S. They moved Bryce from Joyner to Oak Ridge and I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Yes, Thank you for jarring my memory. Bryce did take Periactin and it was very helpful in increasing apetite which encouraged oral eating. Deedee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
