We love to travel as a family, but something we’ve dealt with since I married my husband is motion sickness. Since he was a child, my husband has suffered from the problem. There were many car rides that ended up pulling over or included a bucket in the packing list to aid him in vomiting. To this day, he has to drive, or if he is a passenger, he cannot fall asleep in the car.
If my husband is a car passenger, flying in a plane or train or on a boat, or is riding on rides at a theme park, Dramamine® is his sidekick. My son has realized that reading or playing electronics on long car rides doesn’t make him nauseous but actually dizzy and leaves him with a headache, my oldest daughter has gotten nauseous on boats as well. Luckily there is something for them now as well!
Dramamine®, the leading brand of motion sickness relief for adults, is has expanded its line to include Dramamine® for Kids. Dramamine® for Kids treats motion sickness symptoms on the spot, relieving nausea, dizziness and vomiting and, when taken prior to travel, prevents motion sickness before it happens. Moms trust Dramamine®, believe it is safe, and feel comfortable giving it to their kids. For adults, Dramamine® Less Drowsy prevents motion sickness symptoms for up to 24 hours with less drowsiness and only one tablet.
Motion sickness is a problem for both adults and kids alike. According to an Omnibus Survey in June 2011, 34% of households with children ages 2-12, have a child with motion sickness. This is three times the rate for adult motion sickness (11% of households). Motion sickness is most prevalent in cars, followed by airplanes and boats. Typical symptoms are nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Dramamine® for Kids comes in a safety travel case with 8 chewable tablets with a great-tasting grape flavor.
When this limo came to take 13 of us wine tasting, my husband had to take a Dramamine® Less Drowsy tablet. Riding backwards (or sideways) has thrown him off before, but this way he didn’t fall asleep as the original has done in the past.
Dramamine® is available in Chewable, Less Drowsy, Kids and Original formulas and has a Suggested Retail Price of $4.99. For more information on Dramamine® for Kids, Dramamine® Less Drowsy and other Dramamine® products, visit www.dramamine.com.
