Prochlorperazine Prescription Online

Prochlorperazine - Overview

Prochlorperazine, marketed at times under the names Compro and Compazine, is a medication used for treating nausea and vomiting in some patients as well as some psychiatric conditions. People who might need a prochlorperazine maleate prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe prochlorperazine medication, including prochlorperazine 5 mg and prochlorperazine 10 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Prochlorperazine Used For?

Prochlorperazine prescription medication, like metoclopramide (Reglan), is sometimes prescribed for the treatment of nausea and vomiting - similar to ondansetron (Zofran) - as well as some types of psychiatric disorders. Prochlorperazine belongs to a class of medications known as phenothiazine derivatives. Prochlorperazine is thought to exert its effects on dopamine - a type of neurotransmitter in the brain. Specifically, prochlorperazine may work to block dopamine around D2 dopamine receptors in certain zones of the brain known as chemoreceptor trigger zones, interfering with communication between cells in the brain and leading to its effects. Prochlorperazine may also have effects on noradrenergic, cholinergic and histaminergic receptors.

Prochlorperazine - Dosage and Cost

Prochlorperazine tablets are typically prescribed as prochlorperazine 5 mg or prochlorperazine 10 mg three times per day. The prochlorperazine dosage used will vary from patient to patient and ultimately depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Prochlorperazine has a half life of approximately 8 hours and is metabolized in the liver. Prochlorperazine is eliminated from the body primarily via the feces. Prochlorperazine is considered moderately affordable, costing 40 cents per prochlorperazine 10 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Prochlorperazine coupons may also be found online or through the manufacturer. Some insurance plans may also cover some or all of the cost of the medication, depending on the reason it was prescribed.

Can I Buy Prochlorperazine Online?

Prochlorperazine is a prescription medication meaning that one cannot buy prochlorperazine OTC from pharmacies in the United States. Because of this, one cannot simply buy prochlorperazine online, either, as the first step is consulting a licensed medical provider. People who need a prochlorperazine medication prescription, however, can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe prochlorperazine tablets such as prochlorperazine 10 mg or prochlorperazine 5 mg when appropriate to do so.

Prochlorperazine - Side Effects

Prochlorperazine prescription medication can cause side effects when used and concerns should be discussed with a medical provider and pharmacist prior to using the medication. Side effects that may result from prochlorperazine use include fever, sweating, mental status changes, mood swings, rash, itching, visual changes, and priapism. Prochlorperazine can interact with a number of other medications and care should be taken when prescribed as part of a larger regimen of medications. Prochlorperazine and alcohol should not be used together. People with a known hypersensitivity to prochlorperazine or ingredients in the formulation should not use prochlorperazine prescription tablets.
