Can I Still Use Prochlorperazine That Is 4 Years Old?

[JOBOBABE]

I am having a recurrence of labyrinthitis. I originally had it 4 years ago and I still have some Prochlorperazine left, would this still be okay to use?
If so, how often should I take it?

If that is all that you have in the house and you are experiencing dizziness, then yes, give it a try, no harm will arise.
This is Stemetil and i think (not sure) that it can be bought over the counter and if this is correct, would be a better option in my opinion.

Thanks Sqad.
I will try and get to the chemists to ask.
If in the meantime I continue with the Prochlorperazine, how often do you think I should take it?

[Sqad]

Depends for what you are taking it.
You may find that one tablet will keep the dizziness away all through the day and in which case only take one. If on the other hand the dizziness returns you can take 5mgms up to every four hours a day....juggle with the dose that keeps you symptom free.

Brilliant, thank you so much!

Yes, prochlorperazine is Stemetil. To the best of my knowledge the only equivalent available over the counter is Buccastem, it's about 3mg so not as effective and at £6.49 for 8 tablets it's expensive.
