Medication details

Description

Buccastem is a medication used to relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It contains the active ingredient prochlorperazine, a type of antipsychotic medication. Buccastem comes in the form of a tablet that is placed between the cheek and gum for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. This quick-acting formula is effective for sudden bouts of nausea and vomiting caused by migraines, vertigo, motion sickness and other conditions. The medication works by blocking the actions of certain chemicals in the brain that cause nausea and vomiting. Buccastem is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old and should only be used under the direction of a healthcare professional. If you're looking for an effective and convenient solution for nausea and vomiting, consider Buccastem.

Directions

Take Buccastem M 3mg exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Place one tablet under your upper lip and allow it to dissolve completely. This allows the medication to be absorbed through the mucous membranes, providing rapid relief. Do not chew or swallow the tablet. If you are unsure about the proper use, consult your healthcare professional.

Ingredients

Each Buccastem M 3mg tablet contains the active ingredient prochlorperazine maleate. Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic and antipsychotic medication that helps alleviate nausea and vomiting by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain. It effectively targets the root cause of your symptoms, providing you with much-needed relief.

Side Effects

Buccastem M 3mg is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and dizziness. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Warnings
