HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS 9-VALENT VACCINE

CARBOCISTEINE + PROMETHAZINE

Carbocisteine + Promethazine is a combination drug that is composed of the drugs carbocysteine and promethazine. It is a mucolytic drug that lessens goblet cell hyperplasia in respiratory diseases with unusually excessive or viscid mucus.

Promethazine is a phenothiazine-derived drug that blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic receptors in the brain. The said drug displays a solid alpha-adrenergic blocking impact and discourages the secretion of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones. It contends with histamine for the H1-receptor. It has muscarinic blocking effects that may bring about anti-vomiting effects. In addition it decreases stimuli to the brainstem reticular system.

If constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and blurred vision occur, immediately consult a doctor for proper treatment right away. These are side effects that can happen while taking the medication. Before taking the drug, approach your doctor or health provider and tell them if you have allergies as well as your medical history, especially if you have breathing problems, heart disease, high blood pressure, and liver problems.
