Re: Droperidol vs Compazine

Personally, I like droperidol better. It seems to have less side effects and
a better response. The only research I have on droperidol is in its use for
chemical restraint. In this use it is well studied and has good efficacy
with few problems. We switched to it from phenergan since we could carry one
drug to use as both an antiemetic and for chemical restraint.
