Phenergan

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Phenergan but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Phenergan
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Promethazine, a phenothiazine, is an H1-antagonist with anticholinergic, sedative, and antiemetic effects and some local anesthetic properties. Promethazine is used as an antiemetic or to prevent motion sickness. For the treatment of allergic disorders, itching, nausea and vomiting

Mechanism Of Action:
Like other H1-antagonists, promethazine competes with free histamine for binding at H1-receptor sites in the GI tract, uterus, large blood vessels, and bronchial muscle. The relief of nausea appears to be related to central anticholinergic actions and may implicate activity on the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone.
