Some considerations for people taking Compazine include:
Compazine comes in tablet and rectal suppository forms. It is also available in an injectable form.
Compazine suppositories can be especially useful for people with very severe nausea and vomiting who have difficulty swallowing (or "keeping down") a tablet.
Do not take Compazine rectal suppositories by mouth. Be sure to remove the foil or plastic packaging before inserting rectally.
It does not matter if you take Compazine tablets with or without food.
If you take Compazine on a daily basis, you should take it at the same times each day to maintain even levels of the drug in your blood.
For the medication to work properly, it must be used as prescribed. Compazine will not work if you stop using it.
If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or Compazine dosing in general, please talk with your healthcare provider, nurse, or pharmacist. If you take Compazine on a regular basis, do not stop taking it without first discussing it with your healthcare provider (see Compazine Withdrawal).
