Panectyl (Trimeprazine)

Panectyl Information:

Panectyl (generic name-Trimeprazine or Alimemazine) is used in the treatment of body itching and cough caused by various allergies or other causes. It is also used to treat insomnia and motion sickness. While Panectyl is similar in structure to certain antipsychotics, it is an antihistamine. It mainly works by blocking the actions of histamine in the body, thereby preventing allergic symptoms such as itching and cough. Its inhibitory effects on not only histamine but also acetylcholine are also responsible for its sedative effects, making it useful in treating insomnia. Along with blocking histamine, it also blocks the effects of serotonin in the body making it a potent drug for treating motion sickness.
