Consumer:

Promethazine has weak central antidopaminergic activity. While its use is rarely associated with adverse effects secondary to dopaminergic blockade, large doses have produced extrapyramidal reactions. During chronic administration and/or high-dose therapy, the usual contraindications, warnings and precautions applicable to phenothiazines should be observed with promethazine.
