What is Gravol (Dimenhydrinate) used for?

Gravol (Dimenhydrinate) is an oral medication prescribed to prevent motion sickness, dizziness, nausea, or vertigo. It operates by blocking receptors in the area of the brain that causes nausea and vomiting. This action may also make it useful for treating inner ear problems causing these conditions. Your physician may prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Gravol (Dimenhydrinate)?

One tablet of Gravol (Dimenhydrinate) is typically taken just prior to a trip expected to cause motion sickness, but your particular dosage will be determined by your physician based on the condition being treated, your current health, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and can be taken on an empty stomach. Never split, chew, or crush the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your physician any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct usage.

What are the side effects of Gravol (Dimenhydrinate)?

Some patients using Gravol (Dimenhydrinate) have reported experiencing side effects such as:

• Dry mouth, throat, or nose

Immediately inform your physician if you experience any unusual symptoms that are intense or worrying to make sure the correct response is taken to prevent further problems.
