AVOMINE TAB

About

Avomine Tab, containing promethazine, is an antihistamine with significant antiemetic and sedative properties. It primarily acts by blocking histamine H1 receptors, which helps to alleviate allergic reactions. Beyond its antihistaminic effects, promethazine is highly effective in preventing and treating nausea and vomiting, particularly those associated with motion sickness, post-operative recovery, or certain medical conditions. Its central nervous system depressant effects also contribute to its use as a sedative, aiding sleep and reducing anxiety in specific clinical contexts. The medication works by influencing various neurotransmitter systems in the brain, including dopamine and acetylcholine, contributing to its broad range of therapeutic actions.

Due to its anticholinergic properties, it can also help reduce secretions and spasms. It is important to note its potential for drowsiness, which is a common side effect and often utilized for its sedative benefits.
