Sturgeon 15mg Tablets are a prescription medication designed to treat severe nausea and vomiting. They are especially useful when other treatments have not been effective or tolerated. Sturgeon is often used in both hospital and outpatient settings, including for patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or suffering from vertigo. The active ingredient, prochlorperazine maleate, is well established in clinical practice for controlling emesis (vomiting) and improving patient comfort.

How It Works

Sturgeon belongs to a class of medications called phenothiazines. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain — the area responsible for initiating the vomiting reflex. By inhibiting these signals, the medicine effectively reduces the sensation of nausea and prevents episodes of vomiting. It can also act on the inner ear and balance system, making it helpful in conditions like Ménière’s disease or vestibular vertigo.
The medication may also offer mild sedative effects, aiding overall relief in distressing gastrointestinal or neurological episodes.

Why Choose Sturgeon 15mg Tablets

Sturgeon is widely prescribed when rapid and reliable control of nausea is needed. Benefits include:
Effective for both nausea and vertigo-related symptoms

Once- or twice-daily dosing for convenience

May support quality of life in cancer or palliative care

Fast onset — usually within an hour

Trusted for decades in the NHS and private healthcare

Sturgeon is also available in multiple strengths, allowing personalised treatment plans depending on severity.

Important Note

Sturgeon should not be used without medical advice. It may interact with alcohol, sedatives, and antidepressants. Do not use in people with blood disorders, liver problems, or history of seizures. Always follow prescribed dosage, and avoid abrupt discontinuation unless instructed. Seek urgent care if you experience muscle stiffness, tremors, or jaundice.
