What is Gravol Chewables Orange Flavour?
Product Overview
Gravol Chewables Orange Flavour is an over-the-counter medication designed to alleviate symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness. This product contains Dimenhydrinate, an active ingredient that helps provide relief from these uncomfortable symptoms. The chewable format with a pleasant orange flavour offers a convenient option, suitable for adults.
How Gravol Chewables Orange Flavour Works
Active Ingredient and Mechanism
Gravol Chewables contain Dimenhydrinate, an antihistamine. Dimenhydrinate works by blocking the action of histamine in the body. Histamine is a substance that can cause nausea and vomiting. By reducing the effects of histamine, Dimenhydrinate helps to alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness and other causes of nausea. It crosses the blood-brain barrier to provide central nervous system effects.
Onset of Action
Gravol Chewables are formulated for quick action, offering relief in a relatively short period. The chewable form is designed to dissolve quickly, which can contribute to a faster onset of action compared to some other forms of the medication. The effects can typically be felt within 30 to 60 minutes after taking the chewable tablet.
Benefits and Uses
Primary Uses
The primary use of Gravol Chewables is for the prevention and treatment of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness related to motion sickness. This includes conditions such as car sickness, sea sickness, and air sickness. The medication is intended to reduce the discomfort associated with these forms of travel.
Additional Benefits
In addition to motion sickness, Gravol Chewables may help provide relief from nausea caused by other factors, although its primary indication is for motion sickness. The chewable form provides a convenient and palatable option, making it easier to take, especially when travelling or when experiencing nausea. It can be taken without water.
How to Use Gravol Chewables
Dosage Instructions
For adults, the recommended dose of Gravol Chewables is one or two tablets every four to six hours, as needed. Do not exceed a maximum of eight tablets in 24 hours. Always follow the dosage instructions provided on the product packaging or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Administration
To use Gravol Chewables, simply chew the tablet thoroughly until it dissolves in your mouth. The chewable format is designed for easy administration, especially when access to water may be limited. Chewing the tablet ensures proper absorption of the medication.
When to Take
For optimal effectiveness in preventing motion sickness, take Gravol Chewables 30 minutes to an hour before travelling or before the onset of symptoms. If nausea or vomiting has already begun, the medication can still provide relief, but it may take longer to take effect. The timing is crucial for achieving the best results.
