OK - the tipple of choice in a Brompton Cocktail is allowed
However - I would advise against Brompton Cocktails in general
because of half lives and dosage schedules (diamorphine/morphine
four hourly to achieve adequate pain control -
chlorpromazine/prochlorperazine 8 hourly
to minimise side effects and obtain max sedation)
So a four hourly dose leaves the patient well out of it and a
longer dosage schedule leaves them in pain.
The scenario used to be very common - I hadn't realised why till now.
