Buy Prochlorperazine 3mg (Generic Buccastem M Buccal)
Prochlorperazine 3mg (Generic Buccastem M Buccal) tablets are an anti-sickness treatment used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with migraines.
How Prochlorperazine 3mg (Generic Buccastem M Buccal) works
Prochlorperazine belongs to a group of medicines called phenothiazines, which is thought to block the action of a chemical called dopamine in the brain, stopping nausea messages from being sent to the part of your brain which tells your body it needs to vomit.
Directions
Always take Prochlorperazine exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.
Prochlorperazine tablets should be placed high up under the top gum and the upper lip on either side of the mouth. There, they will soften and stick to the gum. You should allow them to dissolve slowly and completely, even if this takes a long time. It can take between 1 and 2 hours, but most people find that after a few minutes, they no longer notice the tablet.
Try not to move the tablet around your mouth with your tongue, as it will then dissolve too quickly. The tablet must not be swallowed whole or chewed.
It’s best to take Prochlorperazine after a meal.
