Avomine

What is Avomine?

Avomine is an antiemetic drug, used to prevent sickness and nausea. It is especially effective at treating motion sickness and vertigo.

How does Avomine work?

Avomine 25mg Tablets contain the active ingredient promethazine hydrochloride belongs and they belong to a group of medicines called phenothiazines.

Avomine is used for more then one condition because of the way it works on the body. When your body has an allergic reaction, the active ingredient promethazine will target certain receptors to help stop production of histamine in the body.

Promethazine also works on acetylcholine receptors in the brain, and this helps reduce the nausea associated with motion sickness.

What are the benefits of taking Avomine?

While travelling can be exciting, people who suffer from motion sickness can struggle with daily life. Whether they are affected on planes, cars, trains, buses or boats, it all falls under the umbrella of motion sickness and it disrupts travelling rather a lot.

Taking Avomine ensures you can travel without worries of feeling unwell.

How do I use Avomine?

The recommended dose of Avomine will depend on the length of journey you are taking. For long journeys, take one tablet each night at bedtime, starting the night before you travel. For short journeys, take one tablet one or two hours before travelling.

Although Avomine is most effective as a preventative medicine, you can also take it once the motion sickness feeling sets in. To treat travel sickness that has already started, take one tablet as soon as you can after noticing the nausea and then take another that same evening. Take a third tablet the next day if needed.

Do not take Avomine for more than seven days. If symptoms still persist after this time then contact a doctor for advice.

If you forget to take your Avomine tablet then skip that dose and take the next one as normal. Do not double up on a dose to make up for a forgotten one.

If you take more Avomine than you should then contact a doctor or your nearest emergency department.
