Uses of PROCHLOROMETIL MD

Treatment of Nausea and Vomiting

One of the primary uses of PROCHLOROMETIL MD is in the treatment of nausea and vomiting. This can be due to various causes, including postoperative states, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and gastrointestinal disorders. By blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, Prochlorperazine helps reduce the feeling of nausea and prevents vomiting.

Management of Vertigo

Vertigo, a condition characterized by dizziness and a spinning sensation, can be debilitating. PROCHLOROMETIL MD is effective in managing vertigo symptoms, providing relief to patients suffering from this condition.

Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders

Prochlorperazine MD is also prescribed for the management of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It helps in controlling symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders by altering the effects of chemicals in the brain.

Dosage and Administration

Recommended Dosage

The typical dosage for PROCHLOROMETIL MD (5mg) varies based on the condition being treated. For nausea and vomiting, the usual adult dose is 5-10 mg taken 3-4 times a day. In the management of vertigo, the dosage is generally 5 mg taken 3 times a day. For schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, the dosage may range from 5-10 mg taken 3-4 times daily, depending on the patient's response and tolerance.
