Is It Safe To Take Promethazine For Nausea ?
Morning, I was naueated around 10:30 PM 12/31/13 about 10:45 I took 1 prescibed Promethazine 25mg. About 45 mintes later I vomited. The labels states take the medication 3 times daily as needed. But several websites say it can be taken every 4-6 hours as needed. II am still nauseated. Can I take it again at the hour mark?

As you vomited within 10 minutes of intake of drug, its liekly that only little is absorbed.
