Promethazine is a first-generation antihistamine and antiemetic used to treat allergies, insomnia, and nausea.

[4][irrelevant citation] It may also help with some symptoms associated with the common cold[4] and may also be used for sedating pe...

pain for oral surgery. would like to know what is in them because they make me disoriented. ## meperidine is Demerol, a narcotic painkiller. Promethazine is an anti-psychotic, more often prescribed as a tranquilizer ## Promethazine IS NOT an antipsychotic! Promethazine is an antihistamine/anitemetic used to treat allergic reactions and prevent nausea. That is why, in the case of this pill, it is coupled with the narcotic, to help prevent nausea as a side effect! ## VERWON - if you do the research you'll see that it was ORIGINALLY prescribed as an anti-psycotic ## And it is no longer approved for that use! I put the link in my post, you can read it yourself. ## Yes, NO LONGER, but originally was & still has potential similar side-effects such as NMS & TD. And not to say that ...

Is this a narcotic for pain? Is it also called Demerol? ## How come I can't find any information at this website about Meperidine AKA Demoral ## I'm in search for a Dr to prescribe femoral, or dilladid. Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Can you help me with that? ## Demerol, which is also known as Meperidine, is a mild narcotic analgesic that is to treat moderate to severe pain. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Stacey, what search terms are you using? I'll be happy to help, if can. Prentice, there is no way to be sure that any doctor will prescribe any given medication. The best advice I can give is to see a new doctor, make sure they get a full copy of your mos...

I have been taking Meperidine 50 mg 381-b for years. Recently my pharmist switched to Meperidine 50 mg 4171-v and I do ot think it is as effective . He says it is exactly the same. Also, lately I found one of the "old" pills (381-b) and it was far more effective then the new ones. Please tell me the difference. ## They are both generics for Demerol and listed as the same dosage, however, there can be differences in generic drugs and that may be what is causing your problem. They are allowed to differ, in the amount of the active ingredient, by as much as plus or minus 20%, from the name brand. This is considered an acceptable therapeutic window. Since one generic isn't required to measure against another generic, this means that there may be dosage fluctuations from one to a...

Anyone use this for chronic pain? How is it compared to meperidine (demerol)? I used to use an electric wheelchair. Nerves pinching off in neck etc. hands drew up.. Through faith & devotion to God (daily) & finding good Doctors (myopractors, accupuncturists, some kinesiologists& chiros) using Zanaflex for spasms & demerol (mild dosage) for pain I am making tremendous strides & there is no crazy high feeling. I can function & get about now fairly well w/ only a cane & daily devotion to the Lord & simple isometrics. Good Luck & God Bless your healing ## Was able to dig up some information from the manufacturer's label for Talwin Nx (Pentazocine + Naloxone). Talwin is a potent analgesic and 30 mg is usually as effective an analgesic as morphine 10 mg...

whats the difference between it and Percocet ## Hello, Dixie! How are you? Meperidine, the active ingredient in Demerol is much, much weaker. For example, for each 10mgs you take it, you only need 0.67mgs of Oxycodone to be equivalent. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?
