Can a 330 lb person take 50mg of phenergan without risk of overdose?

Question

I normally take 25mg. I take it to sleep cuz any other sleep aids do not help. I take it when I'm nauseated of course if I need it, but I mainly take it for sleep when I really need it.

Answer 1

it wouldnt be wise and adult should take 12.5 - 25 mg every 4 hours in injection or 25 mg by mouth initially. but you should consult your dr. first.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

You also need to be concerned about age.  The older the person is, the harder it will effect, i.e. 60 years old and above.  Stick to the max of 25 mg.  Phenergan causes heavy drowsiness, so you shouldn't take any more than that.  This is why many of us are moving away from Phenergan and moving more towards other nausea meds like Zofran & Reglan.  Remember, you can always give more medication, but you can never take it away.

Answer 4

call your doctor.

Answer 5

no dont take more than what youre prescribed.
