How Does it Work
Promethazine HCl 12.5 to 25 mg/Gm Topical Lipoderm is a unique topical formulation used to treat general nausea/vomiting. Its active ingredient, Promethazine HCl, is a phenothiazine derivative that works centrally in the brain to block the action of emetogenic stimuli. Once applied to a localized area of the skin, Promethazine HCl is quickly absorbed and distributed throughout the body, specifically targeting the area of the brain responsible for mediating the vomiting reflex. In addition to blocking the action of emetogenic stimuli, Promethazine HCl has anti-cholinergic and antihistaminic effects which also contribute to its anti-nausea effect. This combination of pharmacological effects targets the underlying nausea/vomiting mechanism at multiple levels, thereby providing effective treatment of general nausea/vomiting.
