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.
