Hello, guys. I have some allergic rhinitis and a friend of mine suggested me taking promethazine. However, I have read that this drug can be to blame for breathing problems. I wonder whether this is true and if I should be careful. What do you know about this? Thank you in advance.
Hello. Promethazine is an antihistamine medication. It is mostly used for different kind of allergies. It is true that it can use severe breathing problems. However, this is true for children younger than 2 years. This is valid for different forms of this drug – tablets, suppositories, syrups, injections, etc. Patients who are unconscious and those who have asthma shouldn’t be taking this drug as well. If you feel any discomfort with this drug, report it to the doctor. He can give you an advice in a best way. I hope I’ve helped. Bye!
