Benadryl, Dilaudid, and Promethazine are all compatible with each other.

For an IM shot, can you mix all three in one syringe and administer?

I've been giving a lot of Dilaudid/Promethazine or Morphine/Promethazine or Morphine/benadryl or dilaudid/benadryl IM Shots.

Today I had an order for benadryl, Dilaudid, and promethazine IM. I didn't mix all three but just curious if I could had done it tho they are all compatible with each other.

Anyone?

I have also seen,but not recently,one needle used and then the separate syringes used with the one needle in situ.This may not be allowed anymore however.

We used to do this frequently too but, like you, I haven't seen it done for years. I'd actually forgotten about it until I saw your post!

Which raises another point - what else have I forgotten?? :confused:

This might be because I'm new but, the only med I've ever heard of mixing in a syringe was insulin with the clear to cloudy rule.
