Details and Features:
Brand: Cosette Pharma
Dosage Form: Suppository
Strength: 25 mg
Quantity: 12 suppositories per box
Indications: Primarily indicated for the control of severe nausea and vomiting, and for the management of schizophrenia in patients requiring prolonged treatment.
Benefits: Rapid absorption through rectal administration, making it suitable for patients with compromised gastrointestinal absorption.
Mechanism of Action:
Prochlorperazine, a derivative of phenothiazine, works primarily by blocking dopamine receptors in the central nervous system. This antagonism at the D2 receptor sites located in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and other areas within the brain is responsible for its potent antiemetic and antipsychotic effects. This results in reduced nausea and improved control over emesis (vomiting).
Directions:
1. Dosage: Use as directed by your healthcare provider. The standard dose for nausea and vomiting may vary depending on the severity of the condition and specific patient needs.
2. Administration: Gently insert one suppository into the rectum as needed. For best results, lie down for a few minutes following insertion to ensure proper absorption.
3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is out of reach from children and pets.

-
CNS Effects: May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Patients should be advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how the medication affects them.

Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to prochlorperazine or other phenothiazines, presence of coma, or significant central nervous system depression.
