What is phenylephrine and promethazine?

Phenylephrine is a decongestant. It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries) in the sinuses and nose to decrease congestion.

Promethazine is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body.

Phenylephrine and promethazine is used to treat symptoms such as itching, runny nose; sneezing; and congestion due to allergies or the common cold.

Phenylephrine and promethazine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

How should I take phenylephrine and promethazine?

Take phenylephrine and promethazine exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand the directions on your prescription bottle, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain the instructions to you.

Phenylephrine and promethazine can be taken with or without food.

To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid form of phenylephrine and promethazine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
