   They prefer zofran because it's less invasive and usually only want you to give phenergan as a last resort but when you do give it you can give 12.5 mg IM or 12.5 mg IV diluted with 10cc of normal saline

   Yeah I gave it to a patient last night. Some services carry both just incase you have a patient who is allergic to zofran

    I was very familiar with zofran until my partner (a medic of 25 years) said zofran was an NSAID and had me questioning myself

    If you have a patient with a gsw to abdomen which would you prefer zofran or phenergan for nausea/vomiting and why?

    I know what it's for. It's an antiemetic and I was gonna give zofran was senior medic said give phenergan because zofran is NSAID and he's been shot in abdomen
