How promethazine works
Promethazine DM is a combination of two medications.
- Promethazine is a type of medication called phenothiazine. It works by blocking different chemicals in your brain and throughout your body that cause symptoms of allergies or nausea.
- Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that works in the part of your brain that makes you cough. It lowers brain activity in that area, which makes it less likely for you to cough.
What is promethazine used for?
- Short-term relief of cough and upper respiratory symptoms (e.g., itching or runny nose, sneezing) caused by allergies or the common cold
