Sugar coated tablets - 25 mg
Promethazine is a phenothiazine derivative, which decreases or eliminates the main histamine actions by competing with histamine or reversibly blocking histamine receptors in tissues. Promethazine does not deactivate histamine, and does not prevent its secretion. H1 receptors are responsible for blood vessel dilation, increase of capillary permeability, itching and, up to an extent, for bronchial and gastrointestinal tract smooth muscle contractions. Promethazine has also antimuscarinic properties, antagonizing effects of adrenaline and serotonin and local anesthetic effects.
