Metoclopramide and diphenhydramine in the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum: effectiveness and predictors of rehospitalisation.
2007
Abstract Objectives Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is the second most common reason for hospitalisation during pregnancy. Since 2002, a new HG treatment protocol consisting of metoclopramide plus diphenhydramine was put in place at CHU Sainte-Justine, affiliated to University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of this new HG protocol regarding length of hospitalisation for HG, rate of rehospitalisation, evolution of nausea and vomiting symptoms, and rate of adverse events. Study design A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2002 to 2006 on the population of pregnant women diagnosed with HG, and treated at CHU Sainte-Justine wit…
Determination of diphenhydramine hydrochloride by flow injection with Bromophenol Blue and turbidimetric measurement
1990
The study of a number of diphenhydramine-dye systems was carried out in order to determine the most suitable precipitate for the turbidimetric determination of diphenhydramine using flow injection (FI). The reagent selected was Bromophenol Blue. The chemical and FI variables were optimised. The calibration graph was linear over the concentration range 50-230 p.p.m. of diphenhydramine hydrochloride. A number of interfering substances were also investigated.
Fluorometric determination of diphenhydramine by flow-injection analysis
1992
A sensitive, rapid and simple flow injection procedure for the determination of diphenhydramine has been designed based on a fluorometric approach. An aqueous solution of diphenhydramine is injected into a carrierreagent stream containing Ce(IV) in dilute sulphuric acid and the fluorescence intensity of the Ce(III) produced is monitored. Chemical, FIA and instrumental variables were optimized. Analytical features of the method are: linear range 0.2–2 ppm, precision 0.7%, sample throughput 80/h. The influence of some foreign substances which can be found in typical pharmaceutical samples containing diphenhydramine was also investigated. The diphenhydramine content of a pharmaceutical prepara…
