Stemetil contains Prochlorperazine Maleate, a potent dopamine antagonist belonging to the phenothiazine class. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the "chemoreceptor trigger zone" of the brain, which effectively shuts down the signals that cause vomiting. Additionally, it acts on the vestibular system in the inner ear to suppress the sensation of spinning and imbalance, making it a gold standard for treating various forms of dizziness.
In Nigeria, Stemetil 5mg is a frontline clinical choice for managing severe nausea and inner-ear disorders. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability tablets manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards (such as those by Sanofi) to maintain the precision of the 5mg dose.
Important: This is a prescription-only medication. It is intended for short-term use. Because Prochlorperazine can cause drowsiness and affect muscle coordination, you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Do not use Stemetil in children under 10kg or in those with suspected Reye’s syndrome. Avoid alcohol, as it can dangerously increase the sedative effects of the medication.

Will Stemetil stop my headache?
Stemetil is not a painkiller, so it won't stop the "pain" of a migraine. However, it is excellent at stopping the "vomiting" and "dizziness" that often come with a migraine, helping you feel much better overall.
Can I use this for morning sickness during pregnancy?
While Stemetil is sometimes used for severe pregnancy vomiting (Hyperemesis Gravidarum), it must only be taken if specifically prescribed by your OB-GYN. There are other first-line treatments usually tried before Stemetil in pregnancy.
Why do I feel so sleepy after taking it?
Drowsiness is a very common side effect because the medicine has a calming effect on the brain. This usually helps when you are feeling very ill, but you should rest and avoid risky activities like driving while taking it.
Where can I purchase Stemetil 5mg in Nigeria?
You can fill your prescription for Stemetil 5mg at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product quality and professional pharmaceutical care.
