E-DRUG: Non-drowsy sea-sickness treatment (5)
--------------------------------------------
I fully agree with Arnold: Metoclopramide works very well, no drowsyness, no
severe side-effects, very safe to use! Also in a WHO Essential Drug.
I also agree with Marcus Reidenberg, but the disadvantage of atropine and
scopolamine are it's side-effects...
If you should pick an anti-cholinergic drug like mentioned above, please
pick scopolamine as a TRANSDERMAL formulation (sticker with slow
release, to be placed directly behind the ear). Widely available I think.
Good luck!
