Why is this medication prescribed?
Return to top
Prochlorperazine is used to treat
the nausea and vomiting caused by radiation therapy, cancer chemotherapy,
surgery, and other conditions. It is also used to treat psychotic symptoms such
as hallucinations and hostility.
This medication is sometimes
prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should this medicine be used?
Return to top
Prochlorperazine comes as a tablet,
extended-release (long-acting) capsule, oral liquid, and rectal suppository.
Prochlorperazine usually is taken three or four times a day (tablets), or once
or twice a day (extended-release capsules). Follow the directions on your
prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any
part you do not understand. Take prochlorperazine exactly as directed. Do not
take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Although prochlorperazine is not
habit-forming, do not stop taking it abruptly, especially if you have been
taking it for a long time. Your doctor probably will decrease your dose
gradually.
Do not open extended-release
capsules; swallow them whole.
Do not allow the liquid to touch
your skin; it can cause irritation.
If you are to insert a rectal
suppository, follow these steps:
-
If the suppository feels soft, hold it under
cold, running water for 1 minute. Then remove the wrapper.
-
Dip the tip of the suppository in water.
-
Lie down on your left side and raise your right
knee to your chest. (A left-handed person should lie on the right side and
raise the left knee.)
-
Using your finger, insert the suppository into
the rectum, about 1/2 to 1 inch in children and 1 inch in adults. Hold the
suppository in place for a few moments.
-
Stand up after about 15 minutes. Wash your hands
thoroughly and resume your normal activities.

Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, narcotics (pain medication),
sedatives, seizure medication, sleeping pills, and vitamins.
-
be sure a child younger than 16 years of age
does not have symptoms of Reye's syndrome (sudden, severe, and persistent
vomiting; unusual behavior; fever; and seizures). Call your child's doctor
immediately if your child experiences any of these symptoms. Do not give
prochlorperazine or aspirin to the child.

-
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to
become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking
prochlorperazine, call your doctor.
-
if you are having surgery, including dental
surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking prochlorperazine.

drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this drug
affects you.

caused by this drug.

to sunlight and to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Prochlorperazine may make your skin sensitive to sunlight.
What should I do if I forget a dose?

remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed
dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to
make up for a missed one.
