Mikes10 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 PHENERGAN is a brand name for Promethazine, although its not a prescription medication, you should talk to your doctor about it. See the following link http://www.patient.co.uk/medicine/Promethazine.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speleo1 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Also called Promethazine hydrochloride Promethazine teoclate Avomine® Phenergan® Sominex® Available as Tablets, oral liquid and injection Promethazine belongs to the group of medicines known as antihistamines. It is used to relieve allergies such as hayfever and allergic skin rashes. Exposure to substances such as pollen, pet fur, house dust mite or an insect bite can cause your body to produce a chemical called histamine. The release of histamine causes allergic symptoms which can include sneezing, runny or watery eyes and nose, itching and skin rashes. Antihistamines like promethazine reduce the effects of histamine and help to relieve these symptoms. Promethazine can also be used to treat sickness, vertigo (loss of balance or dizziness), and to prevent travel sickness. Because promethazine causes drowsiness, it may also occasionally be used for short periods of time to treat insomnia (difficulty sleeping) in adults.
