meclozine) is an
antihistamine, considered to be an
antiemetic. It is most commonly used to inhibit
nausea and
vomiting. An alternative to
dimenhydrinates like Dramamine, Meclizine is considered to perform the same functions at an equitable level of effectiveness, but with reduced side effects.
Uses
Motion Sickness
Meclizine is effective in inhibiting the symptoms of
motion sickness, such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
Vertigo
Meclizine may be effective in relieving
vertigo experienced as a result of inner ear infections or other conditions.
Risks of Use
Drowsiness
Drowsiness may result as a side effect of taking Meclizine. While the effects are less than
Dramamine, users are advised not to operate heavy machinery while under the influence. The consumption of alcohol while under the influence of Meclizine may result in additional drowsiness.
