Brief Answer: Reduced playing is due to sedative action Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Ms Phenargan is Promethazine which is an anti-histaminic. It causes sedation, clinically useful as it suppresses vomiting. The mood alteration is likely to be due to sedative action of the drug. There is no cause for concern.

Brief Answer: I do not use Phenargan in my practise Detailed Answer: Hi Greetings In my clinical practice I do not recommend Phenargan for management of vomiting. Management of vomiting involves addressing the root cause for vomiting. In majority of the cases its Gastritis, so treating gastritis along with ani-emetic is all that is required. Many of the Pediatrician do widely use Phenargan for management of vomiting. As its sedative it will automatically suppress vomiting. Short term use is acceptable. I do not use Phenargan with the belief that sedating a vomiting child ay lead to aspiration. Every physician have their own views. Take Care Best Regards Dr Deepak
