Bermuda
The video discusses the use of promethazine, its availability in Bermuda without a prescription, its effects on sleep and nausea, and its potential side effect of increased sun sensitivity.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (68/100).
The claims about promethazine were evaluated based on available evidence. Promethazine is not sold without a prescription in Bermuda according to the Pharmacy and Poisons Act 1979, despite some claims to the contrary. It is structurally similar to antipsychotics but primarily functions as an antihistamine, which is supported by multiple sources. Promethazine can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, a fact corroborated by several health sources. The claim about its use for allergic conditions, nausea, travel sickness, and sedation is well-supported by medical literature. The personal experience claim about sleep and nausea was not verified due to its subjective nature.
