Best Answer

Demerol is known to cause nausea in most people who take it. Taking Promethazine with it reduces the nausea effect that the drug produces because it is an antimedic. There use to be a pill that had both medications in it called Mepergan Fortis but it is no longer manufactured. No idea why. Even though Mepergan is no longer available, most doctors that prescribe Demerol also prescribe Phenergan with it.

How do you give Demerol injections through IV?

You want to give Demerol over about two minutes because it can cause a burning sensation if pushed too fast. Sometimes, if the NS is running at a slow enough rate, you can push the Demerol into a port further away from the patient, allowing the IV fluids to slowly carry the Demerol into your patient.
