What is Avomine?

Avomine tablets are anti-emetic (anti-sickness) medicine for treating acute nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.

You can buy Avomine online from Prescription Doctor's online pharmacy. Our online prescribers are available to determine the safety of Avomine for you. Simply complete our online medical form for one of our doctors to review.


What is travel sickness?

Travel sickness is the feeling of nausea and general malaise which may occur when travelling in a car, boat or plane.

The feeling occurs due to conflicting signals between the vestibular system and the brain. The vestibular system is the part of the body which senses balance, orientation and motion.

When the vestibular system detects motion, but no motion is perceived by the eyes, the conflicting signals trigger the vomit centre in the brain. Likewise, if motion is perceived by the eyes but not sensed by the rest of the body, such as with VR headsets, the same result can occur.


What are the symptoms of travel sickness?

Depending on a person's sensitivity to motion, symptoms can vary. Symptoms of travel sickness can include:

  • A feeling of uneasiness while travelling
  • Cold sweats
  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Hyperventilation
  • Fatigue
  • Salivating excessively
  • Low blood pressure
  • Nausea and vomiting.

How do you avoid travel sickness?

There are many ways to reduce your chances of suffering from motion sickness. These can include sitting in the front or middle seat of the car, focusing on the horizon, controlling your breathing and taking breaks when travelling for long periods of time.

If you experience travel sickness, avoid eating heavy meals before travelling. Try to abstain from reading, watching films or using your phone and tablet while in a moving vehicle as these can worsen symptoms.


How does Avomine work?

Avomine contains Promethazine Teoclate, which blocks histamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (vomit centre) of the brain, to treat nausea and vomiting.

When the inner ear receives information that the body is in motion, it relays it to the brain which, in turn, sends signals to the visual receptors to determine if motion is perceived.

If these messages do not match - if the eyes can't see the motion that the inner ear is reporting and vice versa - the brain becomes confused and releases chemicals to induce vomiting.

Children over the age of 5 can take Avomine, but it must not be taken for more than 7 days.


How to take Avomine

For adults, swallow one tablet whole with a glass of water an hour or two before travelling to prevent travel sickness. Avomine is effective for up to 24 hours.

You can also take Avomine to treat travel sickness by taking one tablet as soon as you feel symptoms of travel sickness, and take another tablet later in the evening of the same day.

What should I do if I forget to take Avomine when I should?

If you forget to take Avomine tablets before travelling, take your usual dose as soon as you remember or when you feel symptoms.

Do not take more Avomine tablets to make up for the forgotten dose.

What should I do if I take too many Avomine tablets?

If you take more Avomine tablets than you should, speak to a doctor immediately or go to your nearest accident and emergency department straight away.


Avomine Side effects and Cautions

As with any medicine, there are risks to be considered before taking Avomine. If you are concerned about any of these side effects, speak to one of our doctors before purchasing Avomine.

Always read the information leaflet that comes with your medication.

Common side effects of Avomine include:

  • Drowsiness (sedation)
  • Dryness of the mouth
  • Visual disturbances (Blurred vision or nyctalopia)
  • Difficulty urinating.

If you experience any side effects, regardless of whether they are listed above or in the patient information leaflet, speak to your doctor.

Is it safe to take Avomine when pregnant or breastfeeding?

Do not take Avomine tablets if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as it can pose a risk of developing breathing problems in newborns.

Will Avomine affect my ability to drive or operate machinery?

It is advised not to drive after taking Avomine for acute motion sickness, as it can cause blurred vision, drowsiness and dizziness.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Avomine?

Consumption of alcohol while treating motion sickness with Avomine can cause side effects that worsen and reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
