Answers:
I am not a physician, but I can tell you this much:
It is a generic of phenerghan which is a phenothiazine (promethazine), an anti-emetic used for the prevention of vomiting. The pill you describe is most likely manufactured by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and is the most common mass (25 mg).
Phenerghan alone is rarely an abused substance, but may be utilized to counteract the nausea caused by other medications in a recreational setting. As an anti-emetic, it is IMHO one of the best products on the market and extremely useful in the prevention of dehydration when somebody is ill and unable to access medical resources. It is vitally important to maintain hydration when initiating promethazine therapy.
The most common side effect is drowsiness, although more serious side effects like EPS and dyskinesias have occurred. Most side effects have resolved when the medication is discontinued.
It is not a scheduled substance under common abuse categories.
