Dmh-Syrup Oral

Generic Name: DIMENHYDRINATE - ORAL
Pronounced: (dye-men-HYE-dri-nate)

Dmh-Syrup Oral Uses

Dimenhydrinate is used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. It is most effective when taken to prevent motion sickness rather than waiting to treat symptoms that have already started.

Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine. It is not known exactly how dimenhydrinate stops motion sickness. It is thought to work by blocking a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) and preventing its effects on the inner ear. The inner ear helps maintain your sense of balance and position.



How To Use Dmh-Syrup Oral

Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, 30 minutes to 1 hour before starting activity such as travel. The chewable tablets should be chewed thoroughly before being swallowed.

If you are using a long-acting form of this medication, be sure to swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush or chew.

Measure the liquid medication with a dose-measuring spoon or device, not a regular teaspoon, to make sure you have the correct dose.

Follow the directions for dosing on the label, or take as directed by your doctor. Do not take more medication than recommended. Your dosage is based on your age, medical condition and response to therapy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
