Travel sickness arises when the inner ear detects movement that the eyes do not, causing confusion in the brain’s balance centre. This mismatch can lead to symptoms such as nausea, cold sweats, dizziness, and vomiting. It’s more common in children, pregnant women, and those prone to migraines.

Cinnarizine is an antihistamine that helps prevent motion sickness by calming the signals sent to the brain. Hyoscine (also known as Scopolamine) is another widely used medication that works by blocking nerve signals in the inner ear and brain. Both are highly effective when taken before travel.

Can you buy travel sickness tablets over the counter? Some low-dose options are available, but prescription-strength doses may be more suitable for people with severe or recurring symptoms. A prescriber will assess your needs and medical history.

Preventing travel sickness involves both medication and practical steps. Taking tablets like Cinnarizine or Hyoscine at least 30 minutes before travel provides maximum protection. Other tips include looking at the horizon, sitting in the front seat, avoiding reading, and keeping air flowing in the vehicle.

For sea travel, patches or tablets may be more effective. Those travelling frequently can benefit from having prescription-strength travel sickness medication on hand.
