Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine used primarily to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. It is a combination of diphenhydramine and 8-chlorotheophylline. The drug is available over-the-counter in many countries and remains widely used for motion sickness and vertigo.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adults, as published data specifically for dimenhydrinate, combinations (R06AA61) are not available; estimates are based on the main active moiety diphenhydramine.
