Motion Sickness Tablets?

[MrBig]

So as old age creeps up on me in my early 40’s I’ve found that roller coasters start to make me feel a bit grim. Even had similar effects doing somersaults in the pool.

We’re off on holiday soon and I would like to go on the roller coasters again. Can anyone suggest anything available over the counter please?

Mrs Rockatansky swears by Stugeron, they're available without prescription.

Kwells ( available over the counter ) and acupressure bands ( sea band etc - Amazon ) ?

Retired pharmacist I always recommended Stugeron . It doesnt cause drowsiness unless you have alcohol, and the tablet has no taste you can chew it if required. Take two hours before your journey.

We went to Chessington last week, and with similar worry took 2x Stugeron in the morning (7am ish).
There was no motion sickness to be had, so I guess they worked fine.
A concern was at by about 1pm I could barely stay awake, almost feel asleep in the queue's - that could be sun / food / lack of drink related, but more likely the Stugeron in my opinion.
Got home about 9pm, sparko in bed by 10!
Thats probably the earliest to bed in years, so I'd suggest trying them first.

I used to use Stugeron, but now prefer Kwells as you only need to take them 20 minutes before rather than 2 hours for Stugeron. Never had a problem with drowsiness from either.

Scolpamine patches are very effective and last for 72hrs.

Mythbusters found ginger to be effective https://mythresults.com/episode43

Just to update this, I bought some Kwells and had no ill effects on the Red Force coaster at Ferrari Land, so all good. Thanks all.
