What is Promethazine?

Promethazine is a phenothiazine derivative that functions primarily as an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Promethazine is used to treat allergy symptoms, prevent motion sickness, and treat nausea and vomiting related to certain medical conditions like post-surgery recovery.

  • Motion Sickness: It helps prevent and control the unease of motion sickness during travel.

Dosage and Administration

  • Tablets: Typically available in 25 mg dosages, taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
  • Liquid: Often prescribed for those who have difficulty swallowing pills.
  • Injection: Used in hospitals under direct supervision of healthcare professionals.

Promethazine 25mg: A common dosage form, ideal for treating allergy symptoms and helping with sleep. This dosage provides effective relief from symptoms without being too potent for most adults.
