Wehamine Inj
Generic Name: DIMENHYDRINATE - INJECTION
Pronounced: (dye-men-HYE-dri-nate)
Wehamine Inj Uses
Dimenhydrinate is used to prevent and treat nausea,
vomiting and dizziness caused by motion sickness when medication cannot be
given by mouth. It is most effective when given to prevent motion sickness
rather than as a treatment for symptoms that have already started.
Dimenhydrinate injection should not be used in newborns because of an increased
risk of side effects.
Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine. It is not known
exactly how it treats 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.
