For Nausea/Vomiting "I have tried most of the mainline anti-nausea medications, and they either did not work, or I had reactions to them. I had a very experienced nurse who suggested giving Tigan a try, and since then, I have been taking it as needed for over four years to help with pain-related nausea. It works much better if I stay ahead of the nausea and don't let it get out of control before I treat."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I'm highly allergic to Compazine and anything in that family of phenothiazines and phenothiazides, which is the majority of the anti-nausea drugs. Tigan is one of the few things I know of for an anti-nausea medication that is not related, and I can handle in small amounts infrequently. I have the capsules at home, at the hospital, they had an injectable. There used to be a suppository, which I wish they still had, but as far as I know, they are no longer made. I keep a few capsules on hand for emergencies."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Was on Phenergan for years. It worked perfectly! However, the side effects of Phenergan were making my restless leg worse. They switched me to Tigan. It's pretty good. It just doesn't completely wipe out all the nausea or last as long as Phenergan, but it definitely works for me!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "Tigan user for about 7 years. I tried everything, promethazine, ondansetron; finally, my doctor mentioned Tigan, and I said, sure, can't hurt to try it. It was incredibly effective for me. Suffering from a rare stomach disease, severe chronic pancreatitis, and nausea all the time; it was a godsend! I gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks; work lunches were fun, and I didn't have to look at my food and wonder what I could force-feed myself or eat anything at all. I would work full time and on call and not eat solid food for 3 days. Goodbye, my friend, you have been discontinued. Prochlorperazine is just a shadow of you. Another drug that works for me fine, but most don't like it."

For Nausea/Vomiting "10 years I suffered from pancolitis before being diagnosed, tried promethazine, Zofran, omeprazole, liquid antacid medication, and a few others. Lost 140 lb and was in the hospital monthly. Finally started Tigan, and I've gained 20 lb in the past 10 days. I'm hydrated again, not malnourished, can actually live life again. It is a whole new future because of Tigan."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Tigan was the first antiemetic that did not make me drowsy. I have kept it on hand for 40 years. I used it for vertigo and occasional nausea due to stomach virus. Tigan is also the first anticholinergic antiemetic that did not make me drowsy. I am lost since it is unavailable."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I took one pill of this as it's supposed to help with treating nausea. At the time, I was experiencing severe nausea, and this pill did absolutely nothing to help me. It caused stomach upset, which I find to be really weird, as it is supposed to be designed to get rid of such."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Tigan is the only anti-nausea med that works for me. I call it my miracle pill because it's so effective and works quickly. I don't know what I'd do without it."

For Nausea/Vomiting "It's an older medication but it is effective. Although Compazine, Zofran, and promethazine are better, I think."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Tigan worked very well for me. I sorely miss it. I have had to endure terrible migraines because it is not available in the United States."
