What are Cinnarizine Tablets?

Cinnarizine Tablets are an effective remedy for nausea and other symptoms caused by travel sickness. Cinnarizine Tablets contain the active ingredient cinnarizine, which helps to control symptoms caused by balance or movement problems. This is what makes Cinnarizine Tablets perfect for anyone planning to travel by car, boat or air.

What causes travel sickness? 

Travel sickness, also known as motion sickness, is what happens when the signals from your eyes and the signals from your inner ear confuse the brain. When what your eyes and ears sense doesn’t match up, for example, when you’re moving up and down as a boat travels through the waves, but your brain also thinks you’re standing still. This confusion in the brain makes you feel sick or throw up.

How will cinnarizine tablets help to ease my travel sickness?

Cinnarizine tablets contain 15mg of the active ingredient cinnarizine, which is an antihistamine. When the signals in your brain become confused, it can begin producing a natural substance called histamine, which tells your body to feel or be sick. Cinnarizine blocks histamine, keeping it from telling your stomach to feel sick and easing your travel symptoms in the process.

Can I use this product for anything other than travel sickness?

Cinnarizine tablets can also be used to reduce symptoms caused by movement or balance problems. For example, in those who have Meniere’s disease, this product can be used to ease symptoms such as dizziness, light-headedness, feeling or being sick, or ringing in your ears.

Can I drive after taking these tablets?

Cinnarizine tablets can make you feel drowsy. If this happens to you, do not attempt to drive or use any tools or machinery until you are sure that you are safe to do so. If you’re taking these tablets because you’re planning on driving, remember to have backup transportation, as someone else may need to drive if you’re too drowsy to do so safely.
