Summaryy
• Make first choice based on best guess at mechanism for
nausea
• If first drug doesn’t work, pick one that covers the
missing receptors
• Don’t add a second from the same class
• Strong anticholinergics (antikinetics) counteract
metoclopramide (prokinetic)
• Very little need for an antiserotonin
• Very often need for combination therapy

• If ALL of the following are present, the patient should

e.g.
adhesion, single obstructing lesion
– Patient in good general condition i.e. independent,

– Patient willing to undergo surgery
• Surgical opinion may also be sought where there is an

Rx – Palliative “5 Anti” Approach
Anti-Pain
• Calculate patient’s previous TDD of opioid
and convert to SC dose
• No studies to show any opioid to be better
than any other
• In theory, fentanyl might be best
option due to better tolerance in
dehydrated patients

Anti-Inflammatory
• Steroids

– Antiemetic
– Anti-inflammatory action reduces peritumour edema
– A meta-analysis in 1999 demonstrated that
dexamethasone, 6-16 mg per day favoured resolution
of MBO in advanced gyne and GI cancer
– Spontaneous resolution 62%-68% with steroids,
33%-57% with placebo
• Most researchers recommend glucocorticoids in

• The most important drug in the therapy of MBO
• A somatostatin
t t ti analogue
l
• Inhibits VIP activity in the gut
– Reduces gastric and pancreatic juices
– Reduces and water and electrolyte excretion in the
lumen
– Reduces splanchnic blood flow
– Decreases gut wall edema
– Decreases peristalsis
– Decreases excretion
