Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

I would not take promethazine at this time. Both of these medications can lower the threshold for seizure.

I am concerned that if you take the promethazine that you may increase the risk of developing seizures.

I would wait at least 12 hours or more before considering taking promethazine. Also I would not take any medication without the further discussion with your primary care doctor.

Thank you again for sending your question.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
