Promethazine hydrochloride 25 mg?

Promethazine hydrochloride 25 mg is a tablet strength of promethazine, a first‑generation antihistamine with antiemetic and sedative effects. It’s used for allergy symptoms, nausea/vomiting, motion sickness, and sometimes for preoperative sedation.

Typical adult dosing (very general guidelines; your exact dose should come from a prescriber):
- For allergy or itching: 25–50 mg every 4–6 hours as needed (maximum about 200 mg per day).
- For nausea/vomiting or motion sickness: 25–50 mg every 4–6 hours as needed (often 25 mg is used initially; max ~200 mg/day).
- For sleep/sedation (short-term): 25–50 mg at bedtime (if advised).

Important safety and precautions:
- Not for children under 2 years old. Use in children is age‑ and weight‑dependent; talk to a clinician.
- Use with caution in older adults (can cause confusion, dizziness, falls).
- Can cause significant drowsiness and impaired thinking; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Do not give promethazine by IV injection—risk of severe tissue injury. If given parenterally, it’s usually IM and only under medical supervision.
- Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants while taking promethazine.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: talk to your clinician; it is generally categorized as not recommended unless clearly needed.
- Common side effects: drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention.
