Phenergan

Phenergan is an over the counter or prescribed medicine that has several uses. It can be used for travel sickness and this has been the main reason I have used it repeatedly over the years, but also for allergic reactions such as hay fever or hives and as a mild sedative. I was first introduced to Phenergan through work colleagues. My son was about 9 months old at the time and I was struggling to keep my eyes open at work as my son did not sleep through the night and I was exhausted. A number of other mum’s in the office suggested I get some Phenergan and occasionally give my son a spoonful before bed, as it is a mild sedative and would give me a ...  Read the complete review

I have read many opinions about Phenergan and felt that, as someone who works in a pharmacy, I may be able to add a different perspective on the pros and cons of it. For those of you who are not familiar with the product, Phenergan contains an antihistamine called Promethazine Hydrochloride. This is one of the older antihistamines which causes drowsiness in a lot of people, especially children. Because of this, over the years, it has gained the reputation of being an ideal sedative for children.

I have read through most of the Phenergan opinions on this site and was very surprised to see that no one has written about the "Phenergan Night Time Tablets". Several months ago I had a very severe pain on the right hand side of my body around the top of my leg. The pain was most severe in the night and I used to have great difficulty in sleeping. As you may be aware from some of my previous opinions I travel to West Africa a lot and one of my trips I picked up some Diazepam Tablets 5mg from one of my friends pharmacies. These tablets are basically the generic form of Valium. Although I hardly ever used to use these tablets I am one ...  Read the complete review

I first heard about phenergan just befor we went on holiday to Teneriffe last year.I was saying to a friend how I was dreading the 4hour flight with my 2 children then aged 3 and 18 months.she said that she had used phenergan when they went on holiday as it was supposed to make them sleep.Ideal I thought!!!! Off I went to the chemist to buy some but I was amazed when the pharmasist said it was quite dangerous for small children.Obviously we didn't use it. Apparently there has been some research into Phenergan as so many people where using it frequently to help there children sleep and the outcome was that there was an increase in deaths due to sudden death ...  Read the complete review
