Promethazine is a compound used to treat a variety of issues including allergies, nausea and motion sickness. It's best known as the active ingredient in Phenergan and has now become available as a generic medication in a range of other products.
Promethazine is an effective treatment for those who experience travel sickness or difficulty sleeping whilst travelling.
- Travel Sickness
Promethazine prevents the vomit centre of your brain from receiving messages from your inner ear whilst travelling or in motion (such as at sea). This helps to prevent nausea and vomiting.
- Insomnia
Promethazine has a sedative effect and is used as a short term treatment for those that experience difficulty falling asleep.
- Hayfever and allergies
Promethazine is an antihistamine - a medicine that reduces or blocks your body's response to allergens such as pollen or dust. It's used in medicines and tablets that treat allergy symptoms such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, hives, and itchy skin rashes.
Promethazine is often formulated as as promethazine hydrochloride or promethazine teoclate and whilst the name is different, the effect is the same since neither the hydrochloride or teoclate are active - only the promethazine.
Whilst these medicines and tablets are available over the counter, they are a restricted product and your purchase will need to be manually reviewed by our pharmacist team before it is approved. You will be prompted to answer a few questions when the product is added to your basket.
