Question about 5 years ago

Can I take Promethazine with amitriptyline?

Dr. MBBS , Dermatology, General Physician, Dietician, Infectious Disease, Sexual Medicine & Marital Therapy, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, AIDS/HIV Sexually Transmitted Infections

No, it is recommended that you do not take Promethazine with amitriptyline which is an antidepressant with anticholinergic effects. Since Promethazine also has anticholinergic effects, both the drugs produce additive effects such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, etc.

Question over 5 years ago

Does Promethazine cause weight gain?

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Most antipsychotics cause weight gain and Promethazine is also one of the drugs that cause the same. Promethazine induces sleep and causes lethargy in patients due to which the physical activity gets reduced, leading to weight gain. Since weight loss is difficult for most people, emphasis should be paid on preventing weight gain using lifestyle modifications comprising a change of diet and the addition of physical activity in routine.
