About Phenarmeg 5 Syrup

Phenarmeg 5 Syrup belongs to the class of medications called ‘antihistamines’ used in the treatment of allergic reactions, insomnia, and travel sickness. Allergy or hypersensitivity is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep. Travel sickness is an illness caused by motion during travel characterized by nausea and vomiting.

Phenarmeg 5 Syrup contains ‘promethazine’, which acts as an antihistamine. It blocks the action of histamines (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reduces the allergic reaction. It also acts on the brain directly and produces a calming and anti-nausea effect.

Take Phenarmeg 5 Syrup as prescribed. The dose and duration of this medicine are advised by your doctor. Common side effects of Phenarmeg 5 Syrup are dry mouth, blurred vision, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, tiredness, disorientation, having nightmares, confusion, restlessness, loss of appetite, indigestion, low blood pressure (hypotension), photosensitivity (redness or rashes on sun-exposed skin) and an uncontrollable urge to move the legs (Restless Legs Syndrome). If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Do not take Phenarmeg 5 Syrup if you are allergic to promethazine or any contents of it. Phenarmeg 5 Syrup should not be given to children below 2 years of age due to the risk of potential respiratory depression (slow and ineffective breathing).
