What is PHENERGAN?

PHENERGAN is the brand name for promethazine and is available as an oral syrup/tablet and a suppository.

What dosages is PHENERGAN available in?

PHENERGAN is available as a 12.5 mg, 25 mg, and 50 mg oral tablet and suppository as well as a 6.25 mg/5 ml oral syrup.

What is PHENERGAN used for?

PHENERGAN is an antihistamine and is used to treat the following:

Runny nose, watery eyes, and other symptoms of allergies

Treatment or prevention of nausea and vomiting before and after surgery
Treatment or prevention of motion sickness

Help to relax your body and produce a light sleep, particularly before a procedure

How does PHENERGAN work?

PHENERGAN is an antihistamine. It works by blocking a chemical called histamine from attaching to receptors (proteins) in your brain and throughout your body. When histamines are blocked, promethazine can help relieve symptoms of allergy, such as rash, watery eyes, and runny nose. It can also cause you to feel drowsy and calm before a surgery. Additionally, PHENERGAN also blocks another chemical called acetylcholine, which helps to relieve symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness.

How do I take PHENERGAN?

PHENERGAN is typically taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Your doose will depend on the condition being treated and dosage form being used.
