CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

from the
antipsychotic phenothiazines by the presence of a branched side chain
and no ring
substitution. It is thought that this configuration is responsible for
its relative lack (1/10
that of chlorpromazine) of dopamine antagonist properties.

antihistaminic action, it
provides clinically useful sedative and antiemetic effects.

Clinical effects are
apparent within 20 minutes after oral administration and generally
last four to six hours,
although they may persist as long as 12 hours. Promethazine is
metabolized by the liver
to a variety of compounds; the sulfoxides of
