Vomeheal MD Tablet (Prochlorperazine) | Used for Nausea, Vomiting, Vertigo & Migraine-Related Symptoms
Vomeheal MD Tablet contains Prochlorperazine, a phenothiazine medicine with antiemetic properties. It is used to help control nausea and vomiting and, depending on the formulation and local product information, may also be used for vertigo, dizziness and migraine-associated nausea.
Product Overview
Vomeheal MD contains Prochlorperazine, a phenothiazine medicine commonly used for its antiemetic effects. It helps control nausea and vomiting by acting on areas of the brain involved in the vomiting reflex. Certain prochlorperazine formulations are also used to manage vertigo associated with conditions such as Ménière’s disease and labyrinthitis, while oral formulations may have additional approved indications depending on the country and strength.
Prochlorperazine can also affect dopamine receptors in the brain and has additional anticholinergic and sedating properties. Because formulations differ, the approved uses, strength and method of administration should always be checked against the specific Vomeheal MD pack and local prescribing information.

How Does Vomeheal MD Work?
Prochlorperazine works mainly by blocking dopamine receptors in areas of the brain involved in the vomiting reflex, including the chemoreceptor trigger zone. By reducing these signals, it can help control nausea and vomiting.
When used for vertigo, prochlorperazine can also reduce abnormal vestibular-related signals that contribute to dizziness and nausea. Some buccal prochlorperazine products are specifically indicated for vertigo associated with Ménière’s disease, labyrinthitis and other causes.
Precaution
1. Use Only as Prescribed
Use Vomeheal MD only according to the instructions provided by your doctor or the product information for the specific formulation.
2. May Cause Drowsiness
Prochlorperazine may cause drowsiness, dizziness or reduced alertness. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel affected.
3. Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol may increase central nervous system depression and can make dizziness or drowsiness worse. Avoid alcohol during treatment.
4. Liver Problems
Tell your doctor if you have liver disease. Some prochlorperazine formulations are contraindicated in impaired liver function.
5. Epilepsy
Inform your doctor if you have epilepsy or a history of seizures. Prochlorperazine may lower the seizure threshold.
6. Parkinson’s Disease
Tell your doctor if you have Parkinson’s disease. Prochlorperazine can interfere with dopaminergic pathways and is contraindicated in certain formulations.
7. Glaucoma
Inform your doctor if you have narrow-angle glaucoma because the anticholinergic properties of prochlorperazine may worsen the condition.
Usage
Vomeheal MD should be used according to the instructions supplied with the specific formulation. Because the exact Vomeheal MD strength and formulation can vary, the tablet should be taken in the manner stated on its pack or prescription.
For mouth-dissolving/buccal prochlorperazine formulations, some products are designed to dissolve in the mouth rather than being swallowed whole. For example, approved 3mg buccal formulations are placed high along the upper gum and allowed to dissolve; they should not be chewed or swallowed.
Do not take more than the recommended dose. If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not take two doses together to compensate for a missed dose.
