ABSTRACT

A study of 12 patients with allergic contact sensitivity to ethylenediamine has shown that exposure to the oral antihistamine promethazine hydrochloride (Phenergan®) did not result in an exacerbation or recrudescence of eczema. This would suggest that promethazine may be safely administered to ethylenediamine-sensitive patients contrary to advice given in some of the dermatological literature.
