A member asked:

Does compazine work to treat severe motion sickness like phenergan does since they both are phenothiazines? or would it not work for that purpose?

Neither: Phenrgan and Compazine are typically used for nausea, which can be part of motion sickness. However, sopolamine is most prescribed for dizziness. https://www.aafp.org/afp/2012/0715/p192.html
