Dosage and Administration of Promethazine Syrup

Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The recommended dosage varies depending on age, weight, and the reason for use. Incorrect dosing can be harmful.

For adults, typical doses range from 25mg to 50mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed, not exceeding 100mg in a 24-hour period. Children’s dosages are significantly lower and calculated by weight, usually 0.5mg to 1mg per kilogram of body weight every 4 to 6 hours. Never exceed the maximum daily dose recommended by your doctor. This syrup contains 6.25mg of promethazine per 5ml. Use a measuring device to ensure accurate dosing.

Administer the syrup orally. You may dilute it in a small amount of water or juice if needed, though it can be taken directly. Always shake well before each use to evenly distribute the medication.
