What Experts Say

Dimenhydrinate calms the signals in the inner ear and brain that trigger motion sickness and vertigo, easing nausea and vomiting.

It works best when given about thirty minutes before travel, which is why it is a common choice for long car or bus journeys in Pakistan.

Because it commonly causes drowsiness, care is needed before driving in adults, and children should be watched for excessive sleepiness. It should be used cautiously in asthma and in people with glaucoma or urinary retention.
