    Personally (and i work in emergency RN) i always have a bottle of phenergan in the medicine cupboard for antihistamine uses mainly but sometimes i have used it for sedation purposes for my children but very rarely....

    Clarytine and Zertec just arent powerful enough and for severe allergies and phenergan stops reactions quickly. Phenergan also works as a antiemetic as in stops nausea/car/travel sickness and safe to use in pregnancies too .... so it is a useful medicine but a MEDICINE all the same....

    So yes just to dope your kids up just so you can get drunk and watch tv is disgraceful.... and those parents/guardians reck it for us responsable ones and then we have to ask 20 bloody question for a bottle for the cupboard just in case!!!
