prescribe for kids with vomiting (I would not prescribe it of course!!).
Apparently you just apply a small amt. of it on the ventral aspect of your
wrist and it
works!<

Our local compounding pharmacists make this.  The concentrations used here
are either 50mg/cc or 100mg/cc -- and it is applied to the wrist in
concentrations similar to or slightly higher than what one would take by
mouth or IV.  It really works nicely in kids who are averse to the idea of
suppositories and who are vomiting enough to prevent keeping down something
given orally.
