Question 1

is it common practice to prescribe compazine (prochlorperazine) for a 17 yr old for upset stomach from pollen allergies, took for a week and had extreme allergy.

Accepted Answer

Nausea: Compazine (prochlorperazine) is a well known anti-nausea medicine, but one that has a lot of side effects. I personally have never had a patient with nausea caused by pollen allergies that was so bad that they needed any anti-nausea medication, but i don't know how severe this child's symptoms were. I generally try to treat the allergies first, which i think is pretty standard practice.

Question 2

prescribed compozine for pollen allergy being a psychotic drug could that have change my brain chemistry  was 17 at the time / did have severe allerg?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly sure: What you are asking, but Compazine (prochlorperazine) should not cause allergies to pollen. If i haven't answered your question then please clarify further and re-ask.

Question 3

if someone has a dystonic reaction to compazine (prochlorperazine) does that mean they're allergic or is that just the result of the dopamine receptor blockade?

Accepted Answer

Compazine (prochlorperazine): It's not an allergic reaction, it is a side effect as you described in your question.

Question 4

took a very small piece of my cipro (ciprofloxacin) pill and a small piece of my compazine. will they cause any problems with the interactions? 23yrsoldnot a lot taken

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There have been interactions reported in patients who have taken both ciprofloxaxin and prochlorperazine, but these have not been severe and almost entirely reversible. Should be ok.

Question 5

likelihood of developing more serious effects from compazine (prochlorperazine) (nms, kidney function etc) from a sing 5 mg dose?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Compazine (prochlorperazine) is a very routinely used medication with an overall safe adverse effect profile. It would be incredibly rare to see more serious adverse effects like NMS from a single low dose of 5 mg.

Question 6

is tounge swelling or protrusion a common side effect of compazine (prochlorperazine)?

Accepted Answer

Allergy: Side effects of Compazine (prochlorperazine) includes drowsiness, dizziness, anxiety, trouble sleeping, dry mouth.  Swelling of tongue, difficulty breathing are signs of allergic reaction to compazine (prochlorperazine).

Question 7

can you get high off  prochlorperazine?

Accepted Answer

No: Prochlorperazine is antipsychotic drug.

Question 8

if i am allergic to compazine is it ok to take meclizine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Meclizine is treatment for the typical reaction that can occur with Compazine. So taking Meclizine isn't a problem for someone who reacts to compazine.

Question 9

i had a dystonic reaction to compazine two days ago. how long before i feel normal again and is this permanent?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you had short notice use of compazine. Dystopia can last weeks to months in older population. In you, it seems that it should not last more than a week. It will be best if I to available compazine in future unless the only choice. Good luck. Hope it helps.

Question 10

i was wondering are compazine and reglan (metoclopramide) related?

Accepted Answer

No: compazine is a phenothiazine-antihistamine.  Reglan (metoclopramide) is a dopamine inhibitor with a host of potential serious side effects.
