How does Phenergan work?

The key component is promethazine hydrochloride, an antihistamine categorized under phenothiazines. In the presence of an allergic reaction, the body generates histamine, a natural substance. Histamine circulates signals throughout the body, leading to allergy symptoms like a runny nose or watery eyes. Antihistamines, function by inhibiting histamine, thereby averting the manifestation of symptoms and providing relief from allergic reactions.
