Overview

Xepa B.S.Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Promethazine hydrochloride (strength as stated on the product packaging). It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Xepa B.S. Tablet is taken by mouth, usually swallowed whole with a glass of water, generally in the evening or at night because of its sedating effect, and can be taken with or without food. Avoid alcohol and other sedating medicines while taking this tablet, and do not exceed the dose stated on the packaging.

Dosage

Dosing should follow the strength and directions printed on the product packaging or your pharmacist’s advice, as promethazine tablets are typically taken once daily at night for allergy relief, with the exact adult dose and any paediatric dosing depending on the tablet strength supplied. Do not give this tablet to young children or increase the dose without checking with a doctor or pharmacist, and promethazine is generally not recommended for children under 2 years of age because of the risk of serious breathing problems.
