Podcast # 471: Cyclic Vomiting

Author: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is different than cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). It is important to differentiate the two.
  • CHS is thought to be caused by activation of THC receptors in the gut
  • CVS is associated with migraines and therefore responds to similar medications
  • Olanzapine (Zyprexa) is an alternative to haloperidol (Haldol)
  • Amitriptyline, as well as anti-epileptics can be used to prevent CVS
  • Opioids worsen CVS
