Emergency departments in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi frequently use Minate Injection for patients with severe nausea or vertigo. Long bus and car journeys across Pakistan also make motion sickness a common complaint that doctors treat with this injection.
Dimenhydrinate works by blocking histamine and calming the part of the brain that triggers nausea. It also has a mild sedative effect that can help an unsettled patient rest.
This injection works best under medical supervision, since the correct dose depends on age, weight and the reason for treatment. Routine use in infants needs a doctor's advice first.
