Dimenhydrinate is an effective antihistamine used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness.

It belongs to a class of medications known as anticholinergics and works by blocking certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

Dimenhydrinate is available in both oral and injectable forms and is commonly used for preventing and treating symptoms of motion sickness in adults and children.

It is a non-prescription medication and is generally well-tolerated, although it may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision as common side effects.
