Phenergan Reviews

My child has been on Phenergan this past month. His Ped put him on this drug to combat allergic reaction caused by mosquito bite(it bulges out of proportion).
I have seen unsually uncontrollable behaviour in my child. He is beyond cajoling, reasoning when he gets into this behaviour. I tried stopping it and found he was calmer and wonderful. But he had severe cold and was put on drugs for cold, cough etc. Again this erratic behaviour started with more severity.

I am inclined to believe these cold and cough drugs cause severe side reaction in children.

DO NOT GIVE PHENERGAN TO YOUR CHILDREN----because it can KILL them. It can cause respiratory arrest, as it did to my child when it was prescribed by the pediatrician for vomiting. My child died within 24 hours of being given the 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 ...

it has been almost two months now that i have stopped taking phenergan (promethazine). For six years i took a single 50mg tab in the evening to intensify the effect of my methadone (100mg/day thru most of this period.) It gives a kind of funky chemical nod, superficially opioid but really just sedation - the ...

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 ...

DIFFICULT TO BE OBJECTIVE WHEN YOU DISLIKE SOMETHING THIS MUCH Phenergan (aka Sominex)(generic name - promethazine) has been around for many years, and was originally used to be used to treat abnormal behaviour arising from mental illnesses. In more recent times however it has also been found to be very effective against the itching ...

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 ...

I've never used Phenegen, never heard of it until I took my 19 mth old daughter to Cuba in Oct 99. Its a 10 hour flight and someone mentioned to me about a sedative for her.I know what you are all thinking, "what she doing taking a baby on a long haul flight!!." Well it was hubbies idea!I knew it would be difficult, but hey it was ...

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 ...

My youngest son is 9 years old and a diagnosed DYSPRAXIC. For people who are unaware what this means, it simply is a term given to a clumsy child whose brains are there and are very clever yet take more time to do things than others. He has poor balance at the best of times, and falls over a needle on occasions yet he loves to ...

Phenergan is very widely misused and misunderstood. I beg you not to use it to sedate your children, it is actually an anti-histamine. To the best of my knowledge thankfully it now is not available over the counter. Many parents use it to help get a nights sleep by sedating babies and young children, to do so is dangerous as it may mask ...

Phenergan - every mother’s answer to a good nights sleep or is it??? Phenergan is an antihistamine containing promethazine. It can be used for travel sickness, allergy and hayfever, but surprisingly enough one of the indications for it is not for putting babies to sleep. In fact, for those of you who read the directions on ...

Phenergan has an almost mythical reputation for putting kids to sleep........I've known mothers use it for their kids on a regular basis. Not much liking using medicines unless absolutely necessary, I held off trying it until absolutely desperate.........only to find it didn't work! I spoke to my GP about it at a later date and ...

I am glad this remedy works for some children - but on mine it definitely didn't! My son was hyperactive in the womb and as a baby would not settle, no way no how. By the time he was three he had been prescribed Phenerghan on different occasions to enable me to get a bit of sleep at nights. Unfortunately it didn't work ...

So the topic of sleep or lack of it has arose and the answer appears to be phenergan.Well o.k without knocking the benefits of a good nights sleep by whatever means phenergan does appear to work for a lot of children but some children do not sleep for a reason that is far deeper.If a child is distressed at school, worried about an ill ...

When my two oldest children would not sleep and they were devils, not like my youngest he sleeps soundly but only because in the beginning when he didnt sleep i was told about phenergan by another mum, who swore by it as she had used it with all for of her kids. What it does is relax them down and brings out the tiredness in them, and within 5 ...
