Pharmacist answer to Motion Sickness Meds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Sawyer!
As a pharmacist I recommend Bonine, a chewable form of meclizine. This is the same medicine they will offer you on the ship. It comes in packages of 8 (just right for the 7 day) and you take it about and hour or so before you board the ship. If your kids are around 50 lbs they can take 1/2 tab (though the drug lit. says over 12) For your youngsters you can take along some liquid childrens Dramamine. Dramamine does tend to make you more drowsy. And it's true most young kids are not bothered by rough seas. I guess its due to thoes 9 months of "womb waves" they experienced. I would suggest that you ask your pediatrician if you can have a script for a couple of phenergan suppositories to take with you. This is mainly for nausea/vomiting rather than a motion sickness cure, but it would help if that situation arrises.

Do steer clear of the patches. Scopolamine is good at preventing motion sickness, but has a multitude of undesirable side effects. If your not carefull in washing your hand after application behind your ear and touch your eye it will dialate like it does at the eye doctors office. It can also give you a "bug eyed" feeling and cause dry mouth,dizziness and hallucinations.

Ginger has been studied as an anti-nausant prior to surgery but there is no formal info on prevention of motion sickness. It also has to be taken 4 times a day to be effective.

The sea-bands (bands that have a pressure point at your wrist) seem to work for some.

For what ever med you try, be sure to try it "on dry land" to make sure you don't experience any side effects or drug interactions. You can ask your local pharmacist about these too. Or you can E-mail me and I will try to help.

Have a bubbly fun time on your cruise!

Be sure to test Mechlazine (also known as Bonine and Dramamine 2) before you go on your trip. I have tried it a few times and unfortunately it makes me super drowzy to the point I can not really enjoy park time. I have tried it an hour before going into the parks and also started taking it each day 3 days before the trip to try to get use to it and I was still drowzy in the parks (not to mention at work!). It did however allow me to ride a couple of rides without getting real dizzy ( though there was some dizziness) but it was overcome but the action on California Screamin' All drugs have different potential for different people. It is worth experimenting with and hopefully will work for many others.

I have the same trouble with this drug and so does my DH and daughter--totally wipes us out for 24 hours. I now use ginger capsules (1000mg of concentrated ginger that we bought at GNC). We take 1 or 2 capsules a day and it seems to help.

I will have to try those. Are they available at a drug store or more likely at a vitamin or natural food store?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Our grocery store didn't have them, but could have ordered them. GNC had them, if you have that store around. It's a vitamin/nutrition type store.

I know I have seen a GNC around somewhere. I will have to research it. Thanks.

Any pharmacy carries the meclizine, but the ginger is not quite so easy to come by...I think it shuld be since a sizable number of people have trouble with the meclizine.
