Pharmacology

Cyclizine Hydrochloride is an antihistaminic antiemetic medicine approved by the US FDA. It has both anticholinergic and antiemetic properties. It lowers the excitability of the labyrinth in the inner ear, and it also acts directly on the vomiting (emetic) centre in the brain stem.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Cyclizine Hydrochloride is considered safe in pregnancy, as it falls under TGA category "A" and US FDA category "B". It does pass into breast milk, so a breastfeeding mother should take precautions before using Cyclizine Hydrochloride.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
