Dramamine

Dramamine is used for:

Preventing and treating nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Dramamine is an antihistamine and anticholinergic. It works in the brain to decrease nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

• you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
• you are currently taking or have taken a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (eg, phenelzine) in the past 14 days
• you are breast-feeding

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
