Dimenhydrinate

Dimenhydrinate is an over-the-counter medication primarily used for the relief of motion sickness and symptoms related to vertigo, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and loss of balance. This combination medication, containing both antihistamine and anti-nausea properties, works by calming the stomach and reducing overstimulation of the vestibular system in the inner ear. Dimenhydrinate is also employed to alleviate the discomfort caused by common cold and flu symptoms like headache, cough, and runny nose. It is generally available as a tablet, capsule, or liquid form and is taken as directed by a healthcare professional or according to package instructions.
