Emzor Promethazine 25 mg Tablet

Who is this for?

Promethazine is an antihistamine drug that works by blocking a chemical called histamine in your body, which helps stop allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, and also makes you feel sleepy.

Is Promethazine safe to take with another drug?

For allergies, take one 25 mg tablet at night before bed or 25 mg twice daily. For nausea or travel sickness, take 25 mg about 30 minutes to 1 hour before travelling. You can take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset. This drug makes you very sleepy, so avoid taking it when you need to be alert.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not take two doses at once to make up for it.

• Feeling very sleepy or drowsy

Alcohol — do not drink alcohol while taking promethazine as it will make the drowsiness much worse and can be dangerous. Tramadol and codeine — combining with promethazine increases the risk of extreme drowsiness and breathing problems. Sleeping pills or other sedatives — taking them together can make you dangerously sleepy.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so don't leave it in your car or near a window. Keep the container tightly closed and always store away from children.
