this is an area that we have to be a little careful with because of the fact that i get a lot of questions from pregnant women about this. there are products which can be used which actually aren't drugs at all they are called sea bands. there is actually a product that's a wrist bracelet and it applies pressure to certain areas of the wrist and there is no side effects but it does tend to work. i also ask people if they are going to be going on a boat trip or a long boating or a train trip because that's when people tend to feel the most seasick or motion sickness. there are a few things that i tell people to keep in mind. try to not read when you are traveling in a train or in the car. this is known to be a trigger of causing this. you also want to try to maintain a good sight a straight line of vision because if you are moving your head allover the place you are going to get dizzier even more. then also try not to drink or eat excessively when you are on these type of trips. i know it's hard but once again alcohol can cause you to not feel so well get a little dizzy especially with a little nausea. there are products that are available. if you are pregnant though these products are not meant for you to take because they are not safe in women who are pregnant. but for an average adult they contain antihistamine and what it does is it causes a little bit of drowsiness and it tries to kind of calm down that center in the brain that triggers nausea and vomiting. they may cause a little bit of drowsiness so you want to be careful but they are available in a tubal form as well so it's easier for people who maybe don't have access to water or to have a drink or older adults who really have a problem sometimes swallowing pills. so great products. they are available. once again talk to your pharmacist because if you are on some other medications there could be some interactions so we will need to talk to you first before we recommend those products.
what's best for seasickness or motion sickness?
