Avomine Tablets 25mg can provide up to 24 hours relief in one dose and is generally well tolerated and can be used by children from 5 years. The active ingredient, promethazine, works by blocking histamine from binding to receptors in the body. It blocks histamines in a part of the brain known as the “vomiting centre” which is activated when it receives nerve messages from the ear.
The vestibular apparatus in the middle ear is constantly providing feedback to your brain about the position of your body, especially when you are travelling by boat or car. This is what causes symptoms of motion sickness when travelling and leads to nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and vertigo (spinning sensations). In order to prevent this, you can take Avomine tablets one to two hours before travelling. If you are going to go for a longer journey, you should take Avomine tablets at bedtime, the day before starting out.

upset tummy settlers
First prescribed Avomine over forty years ago by my G.P. for morning sickness, find they wonderful for settling upset tummies, but I also use for cruising if affected by seasickness. Had an upset stomach on and off last few weeks, think caused by worry with all the coronavirus problems, but take just a half Avomine at bedtime and really has settled things down again, am fine now. Miracle little pills.
