I currently use phenergan inj everyday to control my Nausea & Vommiting during my pregnancy. I agree with everyone that says that if not properly diluted it can cause serious tissue or nerve damage, but this drug has been my life saver.

It instantly takes away my vommiting, and I feel like a person again. It is unfortunate for those that have a terrible reaction but I don't think it should be taken off of the market. When diluted properly, and given slowly it works very well.

Was given phenergan IV in hospital. VERY hard on your veins and if you have a sensitive IV site, using this med more than a couple of times will likely cause the IV site to fail or infiltrate, causing a new IV site to be found. The exception is when the nurse gives this drug, they need to 1) dilute it with saline--very important and 2) administer it SLOWLY. This is a very painful drug in your I ... Show Full Comment

Was given phenergan IV in hospital. VERY hard on your veins and if you have a sensitive IV site, using this med more than a couple of times will likely cause the IV site to fail or infiltrate, causing a new IV site to be found. The exception is when the nurse gives this drug, they need to 1) dilute it with saline--very important and 2) administer it SLOWLY. This is a very painful drug in your IV line not just when it hits your vein, but you can often feel it as it travels through your system, burning all the way. Please, for your own sake, ask the nurse to dilute and administer it slowly both for your own comfort and for the longevity of your IV site. I am a very difficult stick for getting an IV line in, so I have learned to do whatever I can to preserve one that is in. Anything beats them having to go to an IV in your neck. Not a pleasant experience! Hope this helps!

I was given this drug in the ER for vomiting caused by Menieres Disease. I would not recommend it to anyone. I had spasms, could not sit, stand or laydown. and my skin felt like it was crawling. The injection site was very painful for several days I honestly would never recommend it to anyone. Not stars at all

after reading all the reviews of people having horrible reactions (some as bad as my Mom's) I cannot understand why it is still on the market! Mom didn't come out of her drug induced state for almost 24 hours. It was terrifying and nothing they gave her would bring her around, it just had to wear off. The involuntary muscle movements were unsettling to watch, especially since she had a ... Show Full Comment

after reading all the reviews of people having horrible reactions (some as bad as my Mom's) I cannot understand why it is still on the market! Mom didn't come out of her drug induced state for almost 24 hours. It was terrifying and nothing they gave her would bring her around, it just had to wear off. The involuntary muscle movements were unsettling to watch, especially since she had a broken hip and didn't know she was thrashing it about. We had to wonder if she wasn't doing some additional damage. At the very least it added to her pain once she came to. We'll be buying her a bracelet with Phenergan on it to be sure it's never given again. How is it that no one in that ER had ever heard of this happening and didn't know what to do for it? No one should have to go through this sort of thing.
