Product Information

Don't eat a heavy meal before travelling. Light, carbohydrate-based food like cereals an hour or two before you travel is best. Music can be a great distraction here. If your toddler is familiar with particular pieces of music they are more likely to be distracted from feeling ill – even if you have heard it hundreds of times before! 8. Head support is key

Put a sun-shade on the window on your child’s side of the car to help her look forward and to protect her from the heat of the sun. On long journeys, try breaking the journey to have some fresh air, drink some cold water and, if possible, take a short walk.Metoclopramide is a tablet used to speed up the emptying of your tummy. Slow emptying of the tummy is something that happens when you develop nausea and vomiting, so metoclopramide can help prevent this. It prevents nausea and vomiting quite effectively in some people. It can occasionally have unpleasant side-effects, particularly in children (in whom it is not recommended). Metoclopramide is often helpful for those who tend to have gastric reflux, those who have slow tummy emptying because of previous surgery, and those who have type 1 diabetes. Your GP will advise whether metoclopramide is suitable for you. Domperidone Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. Make sure your child’s head is well-supported in her car seat to prevent her from moving her head too much. You might feel better after vomiting, and symptoms will generally end once you get out of the vehicle. But you can also feel the after-effects for a few hours or a few days before fully recovering. Try listening to an audio book with your eyes closed. There is some evidence that distracting your brain with audio signals can reduce your sensitivity to the motion signals.

Lay down if you can or sit in a stable position using a headrest. Depending on the vehicle, sit facing forward and in a seat where it will be less bumpy. In a car or bus, sit at the front; if flying, sit over the airplane wing. Remember, if you give children medicines which cause drowsiness they can sometimes be irritable when the medicines wear off. Patients may complain of nausea and vomiting, pallor, sweating, headache, dizziness, malaise, increased salivation, apathy, drowsiness, belching, hyperventilation, and stomach awareness.Avoid strong smells, particularly petrol and diesel fumes. This may mean closing the window and turning on the air conditioning, or avoiding the engine area in a boat.
