New twist on seasickness meds....

[CAMICKEY]

This is just the advice given by my doctor - only for my DS6 - Bonine is what she recommended. - Mike

Bonine is only "officially" approved down to 12. That being said, for a healthy normal sized younger kid, I would use it down to about 6. Used it on my own down to 8 I think.

Oh by the way, it is fairly rare for the real young kids to get motion sickness. For whatever reason it doesn't get very common until around 10. Younger one can have motion sickness, but not nearly as common as in adults.

this thread is so interesting! This explains so much to me - On my
first cruise, I did not get sea sick at all - I was taking Claritin every
day for my allergies - On my second cruise - I did get sea sick - No claritin taken (but luckily I did have Dramamine)

thanks for the heads up everyone!

DH and I have allergy problems usually during the time of the year when we cruise. Loratidine has always done the trick for us. Also like brompheniramine and chlorpheniramine when I want something shorter acting (or when DH needs a booster dose on a really bad day)
