By the same token, you can always rx for dolobid as well. Also only works once.

Only if you pronounce “du-LA-bid”

For young, non-diabetics, I throw short course prednisone around like candy.

I refuse to do the antibiotic thing that urgent care loves so much though.

This.

You have no evidence of diabetes? 4-5 days of prednisone 40mg fix almost everything. 60mg if youre a "fluffy" patient. and the things that prednisone doesnt fix? Dexamethasone (due to the eurphoric/manic effects) will handle it!

I consider “zofran didn’t work for me” to be the equivalent of a positive cannabinoid UDS. It really seems like the cannabinoid hyperemesis patients need some d2 blocking action. We don’t have droperidol so I’m a compazine fan. I need the noise to stop lol

haldol 2.5-5mg not kicking around the ED?

When I was a residents one of our sites had a medication called “Cholase” in the EMR.

For an entire year I ordered it for everyone I was discharging with constipation before someone was kind enough to inform me that I was not in-fact ordering Colase

Lol!! Lot of the regulars have decided they are “allergic” to haldol. I also consider this a positive UDS for cannabinoid lol
