Comment:
Was given this in the ER as a means of combating my pneumonia. Felt like fire ants were stinging my face and vag area for about 15 seconds. I told my nurse and she thought it was odd.

I was given this drug through an IV with a cocktail of Toradol and Zofran, the nurse said she had to inject it slowly or I would feel burning in places I wouldn’t want to feel burning.... I felt it! And I told her right away and she said it’ll go away, it’s so uncomfortable and bothersome but not the end of the world and it does go away rather quickly, it distracted me from my head pain.

I was given it after a car accident. The nurse warned me but when it actually started to burn it was more intense it only lasted about a minute but it was harsh and alarming

Works fine but burns the anal and vaginal area like crazy!! The nurse warned me but I was not prepared for how badly it was going to burn. It only lasted for about 30 seconds tho.

Comment:
I was given this for migraines through my IV. As soon as it started going in I felt a warm sensation which immediately turned into a burning sensation on my vagina. It felt so bad it made me jump out of bed. I hope others don't have to go through this.
