In general follow the directions included with the pills. With the exception of the
suggestions I have given you here in this material, also see detailed dosages and notes.
The effects of these chewable drugs is almost instantaneous (30 seconds?), and improves
with time. In the case of adults who are already sick, it may take 1 1/2 Dramamine tablets
to get them stabilized (a little over-dosing is generally ok, if not continued.) Meclizine
chewable is now my favored medication for almost everyone. The 25mg tablets are very
effective, children included(1/2 tablet) and generally last many hours longer than
Dramamine. Rarely do we have to do this more than once more unless rough water comes
along.
The generic name for the ingredient in Dramamine is Dimenhydrinate HCI. West Marine
and most marine stores have this as well has most pharmacies. The cost is about
$6 for 8
tablets.
Meclizine is available under the trade name of "Bonine" and is normally sold at the same
places where you buy Dramamine. Packages of
8 tablets generally cost about $6 .

Seasickness Medications for Kids
keeping one finger over one ear (blocking one ear). This stops the balancing liquid near
your ears from moving around, therefore stopping the brain from detecting any motion
sickness.
Several drugs can prevent motion sickness, but none works every time. Unfortunately,
there's no way to know in advance which one will help your child, so if one fails, you
may want to try another. Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) is the old standby. More recently,
drug makers have added cyclizine (Marezine), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), meclizine
(Bonine), and the prescription drug promethazine (Phenergan) -- but the Centers for
Disease Control does not recommend meclizine or promethazine for children.
Be sure to consider your child's age when picking a drug: Don't use dimenhydrinate and
diphenhydramine for children under 2. Meclizine should not be used for kids under 12,
and the motion sickness drug scopolamine (Transderm Scop) should not be used for
children at all.
