Abstract

Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is characterized by persistent nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain with episodes of cyclic vomiting associated with chronic cannabis use. CHS symptoms are difficult to manage and are often refractory to standard first-line antiemetics and analgesics. Recent prospective studies have demonstrated the superiority of haloperidol, a dopamine antagonist, over ondansetron for the treatment of CHS. Interim analysis of our study has determined that droperidol, also a dopamine antagonist, has equal or better efficacy to haloperidol.
