To prevent and treat motion sickness

Many people suffer from unpleasant symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and vomiting when traveling.These symptoms can be triggered by unexpected movements, such as those that occur when driving on winding roads, reversing on a train, turbulence on a plane or the constant rocking on a ship.As a result, the brain receives contradictory signals from the eyes and the vestibular system, which leads to motion sickness.These symptoms can be prevented by taking appropriate medication in a timely manner. DIMENHYDRINAT AL is suitable for both preventing and treating the typical symptoms of motion sickness.

Dimenhydrinate: Proven active ingredient for motion sickness

Motion sickness is caused by contradictory sensory impressions: While the vestibular organ in the inner ear signals movement, the eyes convey stasis.This contradictory information leads to an increased release of histamine, which stimulates the vomiting center in the brain.As an antihistamine, the active ingredient dimenhydrinate inhibits the release of histamine and thus prevents or reduces symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and vomiting.The effects of DIMENHYDRINAT AL begin around 30 minutes after ingestion and last for several hours.

Motion sickness in children

Children up to 12 years of age are particularly often affected by motion sickness because their balance system is not yet fully developed.Motion sickness often manifests itself as paleness, severe tiredness or sweating, followed by vomiting. DIMENHYDRINAT AL is suitable for children aged 6 and over due to the good tolerability of the active ingredient.The tablets can be divided and can therefore be dosed according to age.

On cruises

The constant rocking on boat trips can cause symptoms such as dizziness, severe nausea and vomiting for many travelers.It is recommended to spend a lot of time in the fresh air and look at the horizon, preferably in the middle of the ship, where the waves are least noticeable.A medicine with the active ingredient dimenhydrinate should not be missing from any travel first-aid kit, as it can also be taken to prevent and treat the typical symptoms of seasickness.

Prevent motion sickness

To prevent motion sickness, you should start your vacation well rested and wear comfortable clothing.The day before and during the trip you should avoid fatty foods, alcohol and nicotine.Light food and enough fluids are ideal for on the go.Choosing the right seat is also helpful: in the car you should sit in the passenger seat; in the plane we recommend a seat in the middle aisle above the wings.
