Ranofren 5 mg for SN as antiemetic?

[Diacon]

Hi. I have read that one of antiemetic drug which is recommended is olanzapine. I actually have at home Ranofren 5 mg which contains olanzepine, I am taking it from time to time to relax . Do you have any info about whether would it be a good choice? And how much of this do I need to take?

Ranofren is the same as olanzapine, it's just a brand name.

Note that it is not an antacid.

You are right. I edited. Do you know where to find right dose for olanzapine?

It's not commonly prescribed as an antiemetic. It does have antiemetic properties, but it's primary use is as an antipsychotic.

When used off-label as an antiemetic, 5mg is considered the typical dose. My personal reccomendation would be to try a 5mg dose and see how that reacts with your body. You can adjust accordingly from there. (Source)

If you are currently taking antipsychotics, this is likely to have unintended side effects.

Until you actually consume SN, there is no way of knowing whether it will induce vomiting, and/or how severe any vomiting will be.

Many other forum members have had success seeking out a physician and requesting a prescription for an antiemetic.
