Comment:
I have had many surgeries over the past five years and with every narcotic, for me comes Phenergan. It works great, is terrible for veins, and is painful to administer via IV. Some of the pain can be avoided by diluting with saline. Most hospitals no longer administer it (IV). It works much better and has fewer side effects when taken orally, in my opinion.

This is one of the WORST DRUGS ON THE MARKET! If anyone tries to administer it to you, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! They gave this to my mother in the hospital and she lost her mind. The same thing happened to my aunt's husband. DO NOT USE!!! I GIVE THIS "NO" STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received Phenergan injections while in the hospital. The injection sites are very very painful afterwards. The effect of the injection lasted approx 3 weeks. Had severe shaking and chills once medication took effect. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
