Hydrate Inj

Hydrate 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.
