meclizine
Anti-nausea medication tablet
Meclizine is an antihistamine used to prevent and treat motion sickness and vertigo.
It works by reducing signals from the inner ear to the brain that cause nausea and dizziness.
Available over the counter under brand names like Dramamine and Bonine: I took some meclizine before the boat trip.
It causes less drowsiness than older motion sickness medications.
