Why do I need this medicine?
Promethazine is used to relieve allergic conditions, such as runny nose, sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, rashes and hives.

It also helps to relieve nausea and vomiting.

Promethazine also helps prevent travel sickness. It may also be used as a sleep aid for a short period of time.

Promethazine may be used to treat other conditions, as decided by your doctor.

How do I take this medicine?
Take Promethazine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more or less than instructed by your doctor.

You may take Promethazine with or without food. Try to take it at the same time each day. Take it with a full glass of water.

You may stop taking Promethazine once you feel better, unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise.

When should I not use this medicine?
Alert your doctor if you are taking medicines for depression called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or took them in the last 14 days. Some examples of MAOIs include moclobemide, selegiline and tranylcypromine.

Do not give Promethazine to children below 2 years old, as it can cause serious breathing problems in these children.

Do not give Promethazine to any child unless specifically instructed by the child's doctor or pharmacist.

What side effects could I experience?
Promethazine causes drowsiness and dizziness. If you feel drowsy or dizzy, do not drive or take part in any activity in which you need to be alert.

Alert your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or refuse to go away.

Promethazine may make you dizzy when you get up from a sitting or lying down position. To minimise this problem, stand up slowly.

Promethazine at high doses may make you more sensitive to sunlight. If this occurs, avoid direct sunlight and sun lamps. When outdoors, you may also use sun protection such as hats, umbrellas, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and sunblock.
