Prochlorperazine, which belongs to the phenothiazine group, is a disease drug used to relieve nausea and vomiting. It is widely used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with migraines and reduce any illness caused by multiple causes.
Prochlorperazine is effective in providing significant symptomatic relief from dizziness and associated vomiting and nausea. It mainly affects by depressing the chemoreceptor trigger zone and blocking D2 dopamine receptors in the brain.
When used to treat acute nausea and vomiting, Prochlorperazine is thought to directly affect the vomiting centre and chemoreceptor trigger zone, both located in the medulla oblongata of the brain. Therefore, Prochlorperazine may be used to treat severe nausea and vomiting and some mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia.
