prochlorperazine
Prochlorperazine is used to treat severe nausea and vomiting. It's also used to improve mood, thoughts, and behaviors for people with schizophrenia and anxiety. It's not a first-choice medication because it can cause serious side effects, such as extreme sleepiness, falls, and uncontrolled muscle movements. Prochlorperazine comes as a tablet that's taken by mouth, typically 3 to 4 times daily. The brand name version of prochlorperazine (Compazine) is no longer available.

What is Prochlorperazine used for?
- Severe nausea and vomiting
- Schizophrenia

How Prochlorperazine works
Prochlorperazine a typical antipsychotic and an antiemetic (anti-nausea) medication. It mainly works by blocking dopamine, a chemical made by your brain that affects many parts of the body. When prochlorperazine blocks dopamine in the brain, it not only controls nausea and vomiting, but also lowers your anxiety and helps with symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusions.

Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Phenothiazines can sometimes cause serious unwanted effects. Tardive dyskinesia or tardive dystonia (muscle movement disorders) may occur and may not go away after you stop using the medicine. Signs of tardive dyskinesia or tardive dystonia include worm-like movements of the tongue, or other uncontrolled movements of the mouth, tongue, cheeks, jaw, body, arms, or legs. Another possible serious unwanted effect is the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Signs and symptoms of NMS include severe muscle stiffness, fever, fast heartbeat, difficult breathing, increased sweating, and loss of bladder control. You and your doctor should discuss the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of taking it.

Phenothiazines may cause your urine to be dark. In most cases, this is not a sign of a serious problem. However, if your urine does become dark, discuss it with your doctor.
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Less common
Changes in menstrual period

Pharmacist tips for Prochlorperazine
- Prochlorperazine can make you drowsy and affect your ability to focus and concentrate. Avoid driving or performing any activity that requires a lot of attention until you know how this medication affects you. Let your provider know if this medication makes you too sleepy.
- Prochlorperazine can make you feel dizzy, which can raise your risk for falls. If you need to sit up or stand up, hold on to something stable so that you don't fall. Make sure to remove any clutter or tripping hazards at home so it's safer for you to walk around. Let your provider know if you feel very dizzy from this medication and they can talk with you about other alternatives that might work well for you.
- Stop prochlorperazine and contact your healthcare provider right away if you begin to have unusual, uncontrolled, or repetitive movements of the eyes, tongue, face, arm, or legs. These might be signs of tardive dyskinesia, which can become permanent.
- Discuss with your healthcare provider if you want to stop taking prochlorperazine. Don't suddenly stop this medication, especially if you have been on it for a long time. If you do, you might experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and tremors.
- Let your provider know if you have glaucoma, a condition where the pressure inside the eye is high. Prochlorperazine might widen your pupils and raise the pressure inside your eyes, which can lead to blindness.
Common questions about Prochlorperazine
If you're taking prochlorperazine for nausea or vomiting, you'll typically notice this medication working 30 or 40 minutes after you take your dose.
Ask your provider if you can take both ondansetron (Zofran) and prochlorperazine together for nausea and vomiting. These two medications work differently to ease nausea and vomiting. Depending on your condition, your provider might prescribe both medications to you. But your provider might ask you to alternate between the two medications, for example, in easing nausea and vomiting caused by anticancer medications.
Ask your provider how long you can take prochlorperazine because the length of time can depend on what medical conditions you have. But in general, you should only take prochlorperazine for a short period of time. For example, it's recommended for a maximum of 3 months in people who have anxiety. This is because taking prochlorperazine long-term or for longer than recommended by your provider can raise your risk of some permanent and serious side effects, such as uncontrolled muscle movements.
Yes, drowsiness is one of the more common side effects of prochlorperazine. If you're starting prochlorperazine for the first time, don't drive or do anything that needs a lot of focus until you know how this medication makes you feel. Be careful if you're also taking prochlorperazine with other medications that can cause sleepiness, such as blood pressure or certain pain medications. If you feel very sleepy and are having a hard time going about your day, let your provider know and they can talk with you about other options to treat your condition.
Prochlorperazine hasn't been well-studied during human pregnancy, so we don't know for certain how it'll affect you or your developing baby. But babies born to mothers who took similar medications during the third trimester of pregnancy have developed uncontrolled muscle movement or withdrawal symptoms at birth, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty sleeping. If you experience nausea or vomiting while pregnant, talk with your provider. They can recommend safer options to ease your symptoms.

Risks and warnings for Prochlorperazine
Prochlorperazine can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
Higher risk of death in older adults with dementia-related psychosis
- Risk factors: Older adults with dementia-related psychosis
People over the age of 65 who also have dementia sometimes have some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, like hallucinations and delusions. This is called dementia-related psychosis, and it should not be treated with prochlorperazine. If prochlorperazine is used for dementia-related psychosis, it can cause death. Let your provider know if you or your loved one has dementia before starting prochlorperazine.
Difficulty controlling muscle movements (tardive dyskinesia)
- Risk factors: Older adults | Female and 65 years or older | Higher than recommended doses of prochlorperazine | Taking prochlorperazine for a long time
Prochlorperazine can cause uncontrolled and possibly permanent muscle movements in the tongue, face, mouth, lips, neck, hands, arms, legs, and feet (tardive dyskinesia). To lower your risk of tardive dyskinesia, take the lowest dose possible for the shortest period of time for your symptoms. Stop taking prochlorperazine and talk to your provider right away if you notice any unusual movements you can't control.
Other conditions with uncontrolled muscle movements (dystonia, Parkinsonian symptoms, and restlessness)
- Risk factors: Younger adults | Children who have an active infection or are dehydrated | Males | Higher than recommended doses of prochlorperazine
Prochlorperazine can cause other uncontrolled muscle movements in addition to tardive dyskinesia, such as repeated stiffening and twisting of muscles, tremors, jitteriness, pacing, and foot tapping. Symptoms might occur as early as within the first 24 to 48 hours of taking prochlorperazine and they typically go away when you stop the medication. Talk with your healthcare provider right away if you experience these symptoms, you might need to lower your dose of prochlorperazine or switch to a different medication. Children should only use prochlorperazine if they are being watched by adults who can recognize these side effects.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
- Risk factors: Taking antipsychotic medications | Higher than recommended doses of prochlorperazine | Taking lithium (Lithobid)
Prochlorperazine can cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), which is a rare but serious condition that can lead to death. Symptoms include a very high fever, stiff muscles, problems thinking clearly, very fast or uneven heartbeat, and sweating. People who take this medication and lithium (Lithobid) might be at higher risk for this side effect. Stop taking prochlorperazine and get medical attention right away if you experience these symptoms. Be careful using prochlorperazine if you're also on other medications that might cause NMS, such as antipsychotics.
Cover up more serious health problems
Prochlorperazine can cover up more serious health problems. It eases nausea and vomiting, which covers up conditions such as drug overdose or poisoning. It might cause side effects such as sleepiness, confusion, and difficulty controlling muscle movements, which can be confused with conditions such as brain damage, brain tumor, or Reye's syndrome (a rare but serious condition seen in children and teens recovering from viral infections). Children and teenagers who might have Reye’s syndrome should not use this medication.
Higher risk of infections
- Risk factors: History of low white blood cell (WBC) counts | Older adults | Taking other medications that lower WBC counts
Prochlorperazine can cause low WBC counts, which might lead to serious infection and in some cases, death. You might need to get lab work done regularly to make sure your white blood cell count is healthy. Talk to your healthcare provider right away if you experience symptoms of an infection, such as fever, weakness, or sore throat, while you're taking this medication.
Higher risk of falls
- Risk factors: History of low blood pressure | Taking medications that lower blood pressure
Prochlorperazine can cause low blood pressure, which might lead to fainting and falling. If you need to stand up or sit up, do so slowly. Talk to your healthcare provider if you continue to experience dizziness while taking prochlorperazine.
Liver problems
Prochlorperazine might cause serious liver problems. Talk to your healthcare provider right away if you experience symptoms such as fever, chills, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, clay-colored stool, and dark urine.
Seizures
- Risk factors: History of seizures
Taking prochlorperazine puts you at higher risk for seizures. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have a history of seizures, your dose of seizure medications might need to be adjusted. Be careful driving, swimming, or participating in other potentially dangerous activities in which sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm.
High prolactin levels
Prochlorperazine can cause prolactin hormone levels in your blood to go up. High prolactin levels can lead to symptoms such as milky substances being released from the nipple, enlarged breasts, and absent or irregular menstrual periods. Talk to your healthcare provider if you experience or have any concerns about these symptoms.
Difficulty maintaining normal body temperature
- Risk factors: Extreme heat
Prochlorperazine might make it hard for your body to maintain a normal body temperature. Be careful if you are traveling to a place that is very hot.
Prochlorperazine dosage
Typical dosage for Prochlorperazine
Your provider will work with you to prescribe the right dose of prochlorperazine for your individual needs.
Your dose might be lower if you are an older adult or if your body weight is too low.
Severe nausea and vomiting:
- Adults: The typical dose is 5 mg to 10 mg by mouth 3 to 4 times daily. The maximum dose is 40 mg a day. Daily doses higher than 40 mg are only used in very severe cases.

Schizophrenia:
-
Adults: The typical starting dose is 5 mg to 10 mg by mouth 3 to 4 times daily. Your provider might gradually raise your dose until symptoms are controlled.
-
Children (ages 2 to 12 years old): The typical starting dose is 2.5 mg by mouth 2 to 3 times daily. Your child's provider might gradually raise the dose until symptoms are controlled. The maximum dose is 20 mg to 25 mg a day.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD):
- Adults: The typical dose is 5 mg by mouth 3 to 4 times daily. The maximum dose is 20 mg a day. Don't take for longer than 3 months.
