What is Prochlorperazine?

Prochlorperazine tablets can be used to:
• Treat balance problems or dizziness (vertigo).
This includes problems of the inner ear such
as ‘Meniere’s Syndrome’ or ‘labyrinthitis’.
• Stop you feeling sick (nausea) or being sick
(vomiting). This can be from any cause
including migraines.

How to use Prochlorperazine

The usual dose is 5mg three times each day when needed for nausea.

Possible side effects

Stop taking prochlorperazine if:

- You have an allergic reaction. This can
occur immediately after drug administration
and may be life-threatening. Symptoms may
include: a rash, swallowing or breathing
problems, swelling of your lips, face, throat
or tongue.
- You have an unusually pale complexion,
sweating, high temperature, fast heartbeat,
stiff muscles, fast breathing and feel
confused, drowsy or agitated. These could
be signs of a serious side effect called
‘neuroleptic malignant syndrome’.
- You have frequent infections such as fever,
sore throat or mouth ulcers. These could be
signs of a blood problem called leucopenia.
- You may get infections more easily than
usual. This could be because of a blood
disorder (agranulocytosis).
- You have yellowing of your skin or eyes
(jaundice). These could be signs of liver
problems.
- You have very fast, uneven or forceful
heartbeats (palpitations) and experience
breathing problems such as wheezing,
shortness of breath, tightness in the chest
and chest pain.
- You have blood clots in the veins especially in
the legs (symptoms include swelling, pain and
redness in the leg), which may travel through
blood vessels to the lungs causing chest pain
and difficulty in breathing.
- You have rigid or stiff muscles, trembling or
shaking, unusual eye movements (including
rolling of the eyes), difficulty moving, or loss
of muscle power.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking
prochlorperazine tablets if:
- You have heart problems or a family history
of heart problems.
- You have ever had a stroke.
- You have liver or kidney problems.
- You have thyroid problems.
- You have an enlarged prostate gland. This
means you may have problems when
passing water (urine).
- You or someone else in your family has a
history of blood clots, as medicines like
these have been associated with formation
of blood clots.
- You have Parkinson’s disease.
- You have dementia.
- You have epilepsy or have ever had fits
(seizures).
- You have depression.
- You have a tumour on your adrenal gland
called ‘phaeochromocytoma’.
- You have a type of muscle weakness called
‘myasthenia gravis’.
- You have or have ever had glaucoma (signs
include painful eyes with blurred vision).
- You have or have ever had a low number of
white blood cells (agranulocytosis). This
would lead you to get infections more easily
than usual.
- You have low blood levels of potassium,
calcium and magnesium. Your doctor may
perform blood tests to check on these.
- You are not eating properly or are very
under-weight.
- You have a history of alcohol problems.
- You are elderly (65 years of age or older).
- You are diabetic or have high levels of
sugar in your blood (hyperglycaemia).
