What is dimenhydrinate and how does it work?
Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine medication primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Motion sickness occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals about movement. This confusion triggers the release of histamine in an area of the brainstem that controls nausea. Dimenhydrinate works by blocking the action of histamine in this region. Over-the-counter forms are taken orally about 30 to 60 minutes before travel. The prescription injectable form is used when oral medication is not feasible and is administered by a healthcare professional, usually providing relief for about four hours.
