Promethazine is an antihistamine and as such is not nor does it contain any opiates. However, most antihistamines will make you sleepy and a little dopey, and this one is no exception.

How is a synthetic opiate different than a opiate analgesic?

a synthetic opiate is different from an actual opiate analgesic because it is created chemically in a lab and therefore is not a real opiate it just acts like one in your body targeting the same nerve receptors that perceive pain to alter your body's reaction to that pain synthetic opiates would be drugs such as Ultram or tramadol Darvocet or propoxyphene opiate analgesics are also labeled as controlled substances or narcotics where as synthetics are not because even though they are supposed to do the same thing you can never truly manipulate the effect of the real thing in my opinion the real drugs always work better but synthetics are less addictive and therefore usually prescribed more. Also a synthetic opiate or narcotic will not show up as a narcotic in a drug test.
