Pruritis from intrathecal opioids can be treated with {{c1::ondansetron/zofran}} or {{c2::naloxone}}.

Extra

- Pruritis is mediated by 5-HT3 receptors, not histamine receptors

- Pruritis is seen centrally - head, neck, torso

- Not mediated by mast cell degranulation.

- Can be treated with naloxone or zofran. Benadryl's sedation effects can help too.
- can also be treated by nalbuphine and butorphanol
