Dramamine
Motion sickness remedy
Dramamine is a brand name for dimenhydrinate, a medication that prevents motion sickness.
People take it before car trips, flights, or boat rides to avoid nausea and vomiting: I popped a Dramamine before the ferry crossing.
It causes drowsiness, which some consider a feature for long journeys.
