What is Promethazine?
Active Ingredients: Promethazine HCl
Promethazine HCl Syrup is used to treat symptoms caused by allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis. This medication is also indicated for use as an antiemetic agent in the active and prophylactic treatment of motion sickness. When combined with other drugs, Promethazine may be used to treat anaphylaxis.
Promethazine HCl may also be prescribed as a sedative. It is also used to control nausea or vomiting associated with certain types of anesthesia or surgery.
Promethazine is classified in the family of medicines called phenothiazines. It is an H1-antagonist with anticholinergic, sedative, and antiemetic effects, and some local anesthetic properties. It works by preventing the release of histamine. Histamine is released when the body is exposed to certain allergies, such as pollen, chemicals, mold, dander, and drugs.
