PHENERGAN is a prescription medication primarily used to treat allergy symptoms such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, hives, and itchy skin rashes. It is also used to prevent motion sickness, and treat nausea and vomiting or pain after surgery. Additionally, it can be used as a sedative or sleep aid.
PHENERGAN works by blocking a natural substance that your body makes during an allergic reaction. It also affects other natural substances in your brain, such as acetylcholine and serotonin, which helps alleviate nausea and promote sleep.
PHENERGAN should not be used in children younger than 2 years due to the risk of severe breathing problems. Consult a healthcare provider before using if you have conditions like asthma, sleep apnea, or other breathing problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, blurred vision, or dry mouth. Serious side effects can include severe drowsiness, confusion, seizures, or difficulty breathing, and require immediate medical attention.
PHENERGAN should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food. Follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your doctor for best results.
Yes, PHENERGAN can interact with other medications, including sedatives, narcotic pain medications, muscle relaxers, and medicines for anxiety, depression, or seizures. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid interactions.
Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how PHENERGAN affects you. Limit alcoholic beverages as they can increase certain side effects. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider.
