Other key warnings/contraindications: comatose states and hypersensitivity to phenothiazines; respiratory depression risk in patients with compromised respiratory function (e.g., COPD, sleep apnea); CNS/psychomotor impairment affecting driving; lowered seizure threshold; and risk of neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
Promethazine Hydrochloride Tablets are indicated for allergic conditions such as perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, urticaria, and angioedema; amelioration of allergic reactions to blood or plasma; dermographism; anaphylaxis as adjunctive therapy; active and prophylactic treatment of motion sickness; prevention and control of nausea and vomiting associated with certain types of anesthesia and surgery; sedation and relief of apprehension with production of light sleep; and as an adjunct to analgesics for postoperative pain control.
