Description

Antihistamine Promethazine HCL

You can use promethazine HCL to treat and prevent nausea and vomiting under specific circumstances (such as before/after surgery and motion sickness). Additionally, it is employed in treating hypersensitivity symptoms like rash, itching, and runny nose. It will make you feel sleepy or secure before and after surgery or make some narcotic painkillers (like meperidine) work more effectively. Additionally, it will be temporarily utilized to treat a runny nose brought on by the breathing issue.

Antihistamine Promethazine HCL works by blocking a particular natural substance (histamine) that your body produces at some point in a hypersensitive reaction.

Products that claim to treat both a cough and a cold are not proven to be safe or effective for use in children younger than six years old. Because of this, you should not use this product to treat the absence of bloody symptoms in children younger than six years old unless specifically directed to do so by a medical professional. Several products, such as extended-release medications and pills, do not appear to have a warning against their use in children younger than twelve years old. Inquire with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for additional information regarding the correct way to use your product.

These products do not alleviate the respiratory condition’s symptoms nor reduce its duration, and they are known to have serious adverse effects. To reduce the likelihood of experiencing severe adverse effects, it is essential to adhere to all dosage instructions carefully.

Inquire with your family physician or pharmacist about other methods (drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier, or saline nasal drops/spray) to ease a cough or cold symptoms. This pharmaceutical product might take the form of a transparent green apple-watermelon syrup.

Promethazine HCl was taken at night before or shortly before the procedure, which must be continued afterward as indicated.

If you are taking the liquid form of this medication, you will need to carefully calibrate the dose by using a gadget or spoon of a specific size. Do not use a spoon intended for someone else because this will result in an inaccurate dosage.

Your age, current medical condition, and response to treatment will all play a role in determining the appropriate dosage for you. In children, the dosage could be determined by the child’s weight. It would help if you did not increase your dosage or take this drug more frequently than recommended.
