What Is Promethazine HCL 25mg?

Promethazine HCL is a first-generation phenothiazine antihistamine available as a 25mg tablet under the brand name Phenergan. It works by blocking histamine (H1) receptors, which helps relieve allergic symptoms such as runny nose, itching, and hives. It also acts on the brain's vomiting center, making it useful for nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness. Because promethazine HCL causes drowsiness, it is sometimes prescribed for short-term sedation.
