What Experts Say

Devinate contains dimenhydrinate, an antihistamine that also blocks signals traveling from the inner ear to the brain. This combined action controls the nausea, vomiting and spinning sensation that come with motion sickness or vertigo. Pediatricians commonly choose it for children who get car sick during travel.

The syrup form makes accurate weight based dosing easier for parents giving medicine to younger children. It usually starts working within thirty minutes and its effects last four to six hours. Because it also causes drowsiness, many families give a dose shortly before a long journey begins so the child can rest.

Its low cost and wide availability in local pharmacies make it a common first choice for travel sickness on long road trips between cities, especially during hot summer months when children are more prone to nausea and dehydration. Physicians usually favor short courses rather than everyday use.
