Phenergan is an anti-nausea medication that works to combat the symptoms of nausea and motion sickness. It’s often used for the effects of day-to-day issues such as travel sickness, but in rarer cases it can also be used to treat the after-effects of surgery ― like vomiting and pain ― that can be felt after you’ve had an operation.
Phenergan’s active ingredient, promethazine hydrochloride, is a type of drug called a phenothiazine. It works by blocking a natural chemical called histamine that your body produces during an allergic reaction. This means that as well as being an effective treatment against nausea, Phenergan is also used for reducing allergy symptoms.
How does Phenergan work?
Phenergan works by lowering the effects of histamine in the brain, changing the way the chemicals in your brain take action. Its active ingredient, promethazine, works by dulling the sensitivity of histamine receptors in the part of your brain associated with vomiting.
Promethazine blocks histamine receptors without actually stopping the release of histamine. This stops the vomiting centre from becoming activated by inflammatory stimulus, and so helps to stop nausea and motion sickness.
What doses of Phenergan are there?
Phenergan comes in doses of 10mg, 20mg and 25mg doses for adults, to be taken two to three times per day. The dosage will depend on the type and strength of your nausea. You should always refer to the patient information leaflet for details.
