Promethazine is a first-generation H1 receptor antagonist antihistamine and antiemetic medication. It is a prescription drug in the United States, but is available over the counter in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and many other countries (brand names Phenergan® and Promethegan®).

Promethazine also has strong anticholinergic and sedative effects. Previously it was used as an antipsychotic, although it is generally not administered for this purpose now; promethazine has only approximately 1/10 of the antipsychotic strength of chlorpromazine.

Indications


  • As sedative/hypnotic
  • For preoperative sedation and to counteract postnarcotic nausea
  • As antiallergic medication to combat hay fever, allergic rhinitis, etc. To treat allergic reactions it can be given alone or in combination with oral decongestants like (pseudo-)ephedrine.
  • Together with codeine or dextromethorphan against cough
  • It can be used to increase the activity of opioids. It allows lower opioid doses and decreases their emetic properties.
  • For severe Morning sickness - as an older drug with a greater experience of use during pregnancy, it is generally preferred to newer agents.
