Promethazine gel 25 mg is a topical medication containing 25 milligrams of promethazine hydrochloride per gram of gel. It’s primarily used to provide localized relief from itching and inflammation associated with various skin conditions. The gel’s formulation allows for direct application to the affected area, offering targeted treatment.
How Promethazine Gel Works
Promethazine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine receptors in the skin. Histamine is a chemical released by the body in response to injury or allergens, causing itching, swelling, and redness. By blocking these receptors, promethazine reduces these symptoms. The gel’s formulation ensures the medication stays localized and reduces the risk of systemic side effects compared to oral administration.
Important Considerations
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding application frequency and duration of treatment. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Report any unusual reactions or persistent symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
