The drug Propiomazine.?!
Question: The drug Propiomazine..?
This is the drug that Kerry Katona admitted to being on during her car crash tv interview but a quick google and it doesn't seem to be very popular in the UK. It also seems to have a recommended dose of 40mg and she said she was on 150mg. Anyone know any more about this drug and more importantly the side effects and whether it could produce the behaviour of slurring, finding it hard to focus, gurning and heavy breathing.? Or whether it is a drug that should be used when drinking (not sure if she drunk when taking it but admitted to getting drunk).? Whether it should be given to a recovered drug addict.? curiousity is piqued now.Health Question & Answer
