Prochlorperazine 5mg Mouth Dissolving Tablets

Product Introduction

Prochlorperazine 5mg is an antiemetic used for nausea and vomiting and for vertigo associated with vestibular disorders. This mouth-dissolving formulation is designed to disperse on the tongue rather than be swallowed as an intact conventional tablet.

How to use

Remove the tablet with dry hands and allow it to dissolve on the tongue. Avoid alcohol and assess alertness before driving because drowsiness and impaired coordination can occur. Treatment duration depends on the cause of nausea or vertigo.

How it works

Prochlorperazine blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the brain's vomiting pathways. Its central effects also reduce nausea associated with disturbances of the balance system.

Side effects

Drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision and postural dizziness may occur. Neck or jaw spasm, abnormal eye movements, severe restlessness, or fever with muscle stiffness require prompt treatment.

Important information

Parkinson's disease, glaucoma, urinary retention and heart rhythm problems are important before use. Other sedating or QT-prolonging medicines can add risk. Older adults are more vulnerable to falls, confusion and movement-related adverse effects.
