Phenergan Oral Solution (often called Phenergan Elixir) is a multi-purpose medicine from Sanofi. It belongs to the phenothiazine group of antihistamines. Unlike newer "non-drowsy" allergy meds, Phenergan is a first-generation antihistamine that crosses into the brain, providing a significant sedative effect. This makes it highly effective not just for itchy rashes and hay fever, but also for nausea/vomiting and as a short-term sedative to help patients sleep during illness. Its liquid form allows for precise dosage adjustments, making it a staple for pediatric and elderly care.
Key Features
Triple-Action Relief: Acts as an antihistamine (allergies), an antiemetic (nausea), and a sedative (sleep).
Travel Sickness Prevention: Highly effective when taken the night before a long journey.
Soothes Severe Itching: Often the first choice for intense itching from chickenpox, hives, or nettle rash.
Precise Liquid Dosing: Useful for children who cannot swallow tablets or adults requiring specific milligram doses.
Key Ingredients
Promethazine Hydrochloride (5mg per 5ml): The active ingredient.
Maltitol Liquid: Used as a sweetener; not suitable for diabetics.
Sodium Metabisulphite: May cause sensitivity in some individuals.
How to Take
For Allergies: Adults/Children 10+: Start with 10ml (10mg) twice daily.
Children 5–10: 5ml to 10ml twice daily (Max 25mg/day).
Children 2–5: Max 15mg per day (often as 5ml twice daily).
For Travel Sickness: Take the appropriate dose (usually 25mg for adults, 10mg for kids 5-10) the night before the journey.
Age Restriction: Not for use in children under 2 years of age due to risks of fatal breathing difficulties.
Safety Warnings & Restrictions
Pharmacy Only (P): Requires a consultation with a pharmacist. Maximum order is usually one bottle.
Drowsiness: This medication will cause drowsiness. Do not drive or operate machinery if affected.
Alcohol: Do not consume alcohol while taking Phenergan; it dangerously increases sedation.
Medical Conditions: Consult a doctor if you have glaucoma, bladder issues, or heart rhythm disturbances (Long QT).
Diabetes: This syrup contains hydrogenated glucose syrup (maltitol); check with a professional if you are diabetic.
