Phenergan
® (
promethazine hydrochloride) is a prescription drug approved for various uses. It is most commonly used for treating nausea and vomiting, but is frequently used for other purposes as well. There are several different forms of Phenergan: oral tablets and syrup, rectal suppositories, and an injectable form.
Oral forms of Phenergan are available in four strengths, including:
- Promethazine 12.5 mg tablets
- Promethazine 25 mg tablets
- Promethazine 50 mg tablets
- Promethazine 6.25 mg per 5 mL syrup.
Although brand-name versions of these products were once available, they are no longer being manufactured. However, generic tablets and syrup are still available. Phenergan is typically taken one to three times a day, depending on the condition being treated.
