Before Receiving This MedicineIn deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be
weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor
will make. For propiomazine, the following should be considered:

allergic reaction to propiomazine or to other phenothiazines (such as acetophenazine,
chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, mesoridazine, perphenazine, prochlorperazine,
promazine, promethazine, thioridazine, trifluoperazine, triflupromazine, trimeprazine).

such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.

in pregnant women.

in nursing babies.
Children - Although there is no specific information comparing
use of propiomazine in children with use in other age groups, this medicine
is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than
it does in adults.
Older adults - Many medicines have not been studied specifically
in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly
the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects
or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use
of propiomazine in the elderly with use in other age groups.
Other medicines - Although certain medicines should not be used
together at all, in other cases 2 different medicines may be used together
even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to
change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking
propiomazine, it is especially important that your health care professional
know if you are taking any of the following:
-
Central nervous system (CNS) depressants (medicine that causes drowsiness)
or
-
Tricyclic antidepressants (medicine for depression) - Taking
these medicines with propiomazine will cause an increase in CNS depressant
effects
