Contributor: Jared Scott, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Around 30 patients with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) randomized treatment in three arms with 8mg Zofran, Haldol 0.05 mg/kg, and Haldol 0.1 mg/kg
  • Haldol arms performed better on all measures compared to Zofran
  • Extrapyramidal symptoms were significantly higher in the Haldol group than Zofran, especially the high-dose Haldol group
