Gravol IM Injection is used to treat and prevent symptoms of motion sickness such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. 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. This injection is done when medications cannot be swallowed.
