How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Promethazine HCl 50 mg Troche is a square-shaped solid dosage form that is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. This method of delivery allows the medication to be absorbed through the oral mucosa, providing targeted local or systemic effects. This medication is primarily used to treat a variety of conditions such as allergies, motion sickness, nausea and vomiting, anxiety before surgery, and post-surgery pain.

The active ingredient, Promethazine, works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, including histamine, which can cause allergic symptoms. It also blocks the action of acetylcholine, a chemical that helps control the movement of the stomach and intestines, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms of motion sickness and nausea.

Promethazine HCl 50 mg Troche is typically taken orally one to three times a day, and it is recommended to be taken with food or milk to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. It is crucial to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Taking more or less of it, or taking it more often than prescribed, can lead to unwanted side effects or decreased effectiveness.

In addition to the conditions mentioned above, Promethazine HCl 50 mg Troche may also be used to help with sleep problems (insomnia) and to relieve itching from certain skin conditions. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before using this medication for these purposes to ensure it is the best treatment option for you.

If you have any questions or concerns about Promethazine HCl 50 mg Troche, it is recommended to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the most accurate and personalized information regarding this medication and how it can benefit your specific health needs.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
