Description
Gravol is an oral tablet made up of an antihistamine called dimenhydrinate. We carry the brand name Gravol in 50mg.
Gravol is a medication used to combat symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and dizziness, most commonly the cause of motion sickness. Motion sickness occurs when the motion sensed by your ears is different than the motion that your eyes see, usually when you travel in a car, train, boat, or airplane. Motion sickness does not happen to everyone however it can be a daily struggle for others.
Gravol is effective in treating motion sickness due to its ability to affect the natural histamines produced in your body that cause motion sickness.
