What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the compatibility of medications such as Benadryl, Ativan, and Haldol when mixed in the same syringe for IM administration. Some members mention that specific combinations are compatible, while others recommend giving the medications separately. There is also mention of alternative medications like Geodon or Zyprexa for psychiatric emergencies and the importance of verifying drug interactions before administering them to patients.

I understand that Benadryl, Ativan, and Haldol are not compatible when given in the same syringe IV push.

However, is it safe to give when they are mixed in the same syringe and given IM?

Gotta use a big gauge needle too. The Ativan is thick. ?
