To answer the original question:

We were prescribed 2.5ml for DS2, he was about 11.5 months at the time and a "tiny" 8kg. We were told after that didn't work to up it to 5ml.

The rest you know.]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:09:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=706357&title=phenagen-sp#706357 <![CDATA[Phenagen (sp?) : Just to be clear, nowhere in my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=698828&title=phenagen-sp#698828 Author: Dawnie

We emigrated to NZ in 2005, DS1 was 2.5 (even less inclined to sit still than a 14 month old IMO)and we didn't use any drugs on him and we were traveling for over 24 hours. He was brilliant and he coped with it better than we did!

If you want to do it then by all means do it, they're your children, but don't assume that because you do something that everyone else will.

Phenergan isn't to be played about with, it has caused children to stop breathing and has even caused deaths, if that risk is acceptable to you then by all means go for it but for us the risk would have been too great to use it just to get some "peace" while traveling. There are certainly less powerful drugs out there to treat symptoms they have when traveling have you asked about those?]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:36:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=698452&title=phenagen-sp#698452 <![CDATA[Phenagen (sp?) : Dawnie I agree with you.

Dawnie I agree with you. I used Phenergan with my then 14 month old ds last year on a long haul flight from here to Ireland. I dare anyone to try to put there little one through that without a little help. I like you would never use it to just get a rest but my doctor prescribed it as he has travelled and knows it is not fair to excpet a younge child to not get stressed out stuck in a chair for 30o yours. I only use it on one of the flights and it just calms him a bit. We are doing the trip again in a couple of weeks and I am going off to the doctor to get it again. ]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:49:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=698345&title=phenagen-sp#698345 <![CDATA[Phenagen (sp?) : By the way it IS prescribed by...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=694795&title=phenagen-sp#694795 Author: Dawnie

By the way it IS prescribed by my GP, I am not careless nor would I put something into my child without knowing the side effects of it. I also don't see why my wee guy should suffer from a prolonged upset stomach from travel when there is something out there to help prevent it.

If you have done the trip from Auckland to Gisborne, you will know what the roads are like particularly the gorge.]]> Tue, 26 May 2009 09:35:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=694795&title=phenagen-sp#694795 <![CDATA[Phenagen (sp?) : We use it for travel as Lochy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=694093&title=phenagen-sp#694093 Author: Dawnie

You're not except under the advice of a Dr; as an aside as well, it can have the OPPOSITE effect to the one you are after. This was prescribed to our then 12 month old for a few nights after 8 weeks of getting 5 hours (broken) sleep in every 24 to "reset" him and we gave him his first dose and he was up ALL night!

I wasn't keen on giving it to him in the first place based on what I know about it . When we told them it hadn't worked, we got told to up the dose!!!!! No way I was doing that.............so he never had another dose and we ended up doing something else.]]> Wed, 20 May 2009 22:01:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=691203&title=phenagen-sp#691203 <![CDATA[Phenagen (sp?) : Pharmacies aren&#039;t allowed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=690435&title=phenagen-sp#690435 Author: fallen

Pharmacies aren't allowed to sell phenergan (or much else really!) to be used by under two year olds. Nor are they allowed to sell any sedating antihistamine to anyone for the purpose of sedation.]]> Tue, 19 May 2009 21:22:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=690435&title=phenagen-sp#690435 <![CDATA[Phenagen (sp?) : I thought that you weren&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26482&PID=687171&title=phenagen-sp#687171 Author: Charly

I thought that you weren't meant to use it on kids under 2yrs?

It will depend on his weight but Sam is just over 10 kgs and the recommended dose is 4ml.
