Venous thrombosis at the injection site has been reported. Gastrointestinal Effects: Nausea and vomiting have been reported, usually in association with surgical procedures and combination drug therapy. Allergic Reactions: These include urticaria, dermatitis, asthma, and photosensitivity. Angioneurotic edema has been reported. Other Reported Reactions: Leukopenia and agranulocytosis, usually when promethazine has been used in association with other known marrow-toxic agents, have been reported. Thrombocytopenic purpura and jaundice of the obstructive type have been associated with the use of promethazine. The jaundice is usually reversible on discontinuation of the drug. Subcutaneous injection has resulted in tissue necrosis. Nasal stuffiness may occur. Dry mouth has been reported.
Side Effects
Pregnancy Category C. Teratogenic effects have not been demonstrated in rat-feeding studies at doses of 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg (approximately 2.1 and 4.2 times the maximum recommended human daily dose) of Promethazine hydrochloride injection . Daily doses of 25 mg/kg intraperitoneally have been found to produce fetal mortality in rats. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Promethazine hydrochloride injection in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Promethazine hydrochloride injection should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Pregnancy And Lactation

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility: Long term animal studies have not been performed to assess the carcinogenic potential of promethazine hydrochloride (promethazine hydrochloride injection), nor are there other animal or human data concerning carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or impairment of fertility. Promethazine hydrochloride was nonmutagenic in the Ames Salmonella test system.
