droperidol and Itching

droperidol has been researched along with Itching in 13 studies

Droperidol: A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of HALOPERIDOL. It is used in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as FENTANYL to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon. It is also used as a premedicant, as an antiemetic, and for the control of agitation in acute psychoses. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th ed, p593)
droperidol : An organofluorine compound that is haloperidol in which the hydroxy group has been eliminated with the introduction of a double bond in the piperidine ring, and the 4-chlorophenyl group has been replaced by a benzimidazol-2-on-1-yl group. It is used in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as fentanyl to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon.

( Ai, K; Kotake, Y; Matsumoto, M; Morisaki, H; Takeda, J, 2000)

( Areewatana, S; Sanansilp, V; Tonsukchai, N, 1998)
"The phenomenon of itching has received surprisingly little scientific scrutiny despite its commonality--hence its designation as a kind of neglected, "orphan symptom."2.43Update for nurse anesthetists--pt 4. Itching, the "little" big problem as an orphan symptom. ( Biddle, C; Toomey, M, 2006)
