Our take on the Dramamine 50mg 36ct (2pack)

Dramamine 50mg tablets are the drowsy formula of the motion sickness medicine, with 50mg of dimenhydrinate per tablet. It is taken before travel to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting and dizziness from motion sickness. The drowsy formula is the trade-off: it works well for many people but causes noticeable sleepiness, so it suits travelers who can rest or who are not driving. It is not for children under 2, and the label directs checking with a doctor for young children.
