Prochlorperazine Price in Bangladesh

Prochlorperazine is a medicine for nausea, vomiting and the spinning dizziness of vertigo. It belongs to the phenothiazine family and calms the signals that trigger sickness, both in the brain and from the balance organ of the inner ear. Doctors in Bangladesh use it for short bouts: a sudden attack of vertigo, sickness with a migraine, or vomiting that needs settling. This shelf holds tablets, a syrup and an injection.

Anti Vertigo, Anti-Emetic sits under Nausea Vomiting & Vertigo.

Sudden Vertigo and Inner Ear Attacks

Vertigo feels as if the room is spinning, often with nausea and unsteadiness on the feet. Inner ear problems, such as vestibular neuritis after a viral illness or attacks linked to Meniere’s disease, are common causes. Prochlorperazine settles the sickness and spinning for the first few days. The brain then has to relearn balance, and gentle movement helps that, so doctors avoid keeping people on it longer than needed.

Nausea With Migraine and Other Causes

During a migraine the stomach empties slowly, and nausea can stop painkillers from being absorbed, so a doctor may add prochlorperazine to settle it. It is also used for vomiting from other causes, but persistent vomiting needs its cause found. Food poisoning, kidney stones and bowel blockage can look alike at first and are managed differently. Ondansetron and other anti-sickness medicines are on Anti-Emetic.

Short Courses Work Better Than Long Ones

Prochlorperazine is meant for days, not months. Long use for dizziness can slow the brain’s natural recovery of balance, and it raises the chance of movement side effects. If vertigo keeps coming back, the doctor will look for a cause. Benign positional vertigo, brought on by turning in bed or looking up, often responds to a simple head-movement manoeuvre done in the clinic rather than to tablets.

Drowsiness, Driving and Alcohol

Many people feel sleepy or slowed down on prochlorperazine, especially in the first days. Avoid driving, riding a motorbike, climbing ladders or working with machinery until you know how it affects you, remembering that vertigo itself makes these unsafe. Alcohol, sleeping tablets and sedating antihistamines deepen the drowsiness. Standing up slowly from a bed or chair helps with the light-headedness some people feel.

Stiffness and Restlessness to Report

• Stiff neck or jaw, or eyes rolling upward, sometimes within a day of starting.
• Inner restlessness that makes it hard to sit or stand still.
• Trembling hands or slowed, shuffling movements.
• High fever with rigid muscles and confusion, which needs emergency care.

Young People and Older Adults

Movement reactions such as a sudden neck spasm are more likely in teenagers and young adults, particularly young women, so doctors use the lowest amount for the shortest time. Older people are more prone to drowsiness, falls, confusion and low blood pressure on standing. In people with dementia, phenothiazines carry extra risks that the doctor weighs carefully. Small children are generally given other medicines instead.

The Injection Is a Clinical Treatment

The injectable form is used when vomiting is severe enough that tablets come straight back up, or for a bad vertigo attack in an emergency room. A nurse or doctor gives it into a muscle and watches for a drop in blood pressure afterwards. Anyone who has been vomiting for more than a day, or cannot keep fluids down, needs to be seen in person rather than treated at home.

Who Should Check With a Doctor First

Tell the doctor about Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, liver disease, or a past reaction to phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine. Prochlorperazine works against levodopa and adds to the effect of other sedating medicines. In pregnancy and breastfeeding it is used only when a doctor judges it necessary, and for morning sickness other medicines are usually tried first.

Prochlorperazine Price in Bangladesh

Prochlorperazine tablets from local makers are among the lowest-priced medicines on the nausea shelves; the syrup costs more per bottle, and the injection is priced per ampoule.

The injection on this shelf is given into a muscle by trained staff, so it belongs with a clinic or a home-care nurse rather than in a family medicine box. Cinnarizine, used for longer-lasting dizziness and motion sickness, is on Anti Vertigo.

Before You Order

• Do not drive until you know how drowsy it makes you.
• Report any neck spasm or restlessness straight away.
• Keep the course to the days the doctor set.
• Mention Parkinson’s disease or levodopa treatment.
• Avoid alcohol while taking it.
