Cinnarizine Description
Cinnarizine helps relieve symptoms of motion sickness.
It helps by blocking histamine receptors, which in turn reduces nausea.
Take it 2 hours before you travel and then every 8 hours afterwards.

What is Cinnarizine?

Cinnarizine is a tablet that helps with motion sickness. It prevents nausea, allowing you to travel comfortably. Simply take Cinnarizine a few hours before you get into a vehicle or do anything else that might cause motion sickness. This way, it helps stop you from feeling unwell.

Motion sickness is when you feel nauseous due to movement. It often happens while travelling in cars or trains. This occurs because your eyes and inner ear send conflicting signals to your brain, leading to the nausea and sometimes vomiting associated with motion sickness.

How does Cinnarizine work?

Cinnarizine is a medication known as an H1 antihistamine. These antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamines on H1 and ACh receptors in the brain. Histamines are chemicals naturally produced in the body, but during motion sickness, an excess of them can activate the H1 and ACh receptors, impacting your vestibular system, which is responsible for balance.

First generation antihistamines, such as Cinnarizine, work by blocking your H1 and ACh receptors, which influence your vestibular system. By taking Cinnarizine, it prevents excess histamines from acting in your brain, helping to relieve motion sickness.

What doses of Cinnarizine are there?

Cinnarizine is available in 15mg tablets. For motion sickness, it's typical to take two tablets two hours before you start your journey. If you're on a lengthy trip, such as a long flight, boat, or car ride, you would generally take an additional 15mg tablet every eight hours.

Your clinician can assist you in determining the exact dose that's best for you. You might start with a lower dose and discover you need a bit more to manage your symptoms. If you discuss your motion sickness with us, we can help you choose the right treatment.

How long does it take Cinnarizine to work?

Cinnarizine typically begins to work a few hours after you take the tablets. It's best to take it a couple of hours before you're in a situation that might cause motion sickness, so it's effective before you start travelling. The amount of Cinnarizine in your blood reaches its highest between one and three hours after taking it, and a single dose can remain in your system for up to 24 hours. If your journey lasts longer, you'll need to take another dose eight hours in, but this is usually just a half dose.

What should I do if I make a mistake while taking Cinnarizine?

Cinnarizine is a first-generation antihistamine, so it often causes drowsiness. It's not advisable to use it for motion sickness if you're driving or doing anything that could be risky if you become drowsy. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue as usual. Don't take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. If you accidentally take too much Cinnarizine, seek medical help immediately.

How is Cinnarizine different from other treatments for motion sickness?

If you've been dealing with motion sickness for some time, you've likely tried a few remedies. Self-care techniques such as slow breathing and opening windows can help make the symptoms more manageable, but they usually don't eliminate them completely.

You might have given acupressure bands a go for motion sickness, but research has shown they don't actually work.

Since it's a tablet, you might find Cinnarizine more convenient than other options like Scopoderm, which is available as a patch.

Is Cinnarizine similar to any other treatment?

Stugeron is a brand-name medicine that contains the same active ingredient as Cinnarizine, in the same dosage. Therefore, it should function in much the same way. The main differences between Stugeron and Cinnarizine are their names, appearance, and cost. As Cinnarizine is a generic medicine, it is usually less expensive.

There are other first-generation antihistamines that can help with motion sickness. The most common one is Promethazine. Both Cinnarizine and Promethazine function in similar ways since they belong to the same drug group. However, they contain different active ingredients, so one might be more effective for you than the other.

How effective is Cinnarizine?

Cinnarizine is effective for various types of motion sickness. In a study focusing on its impact on seasickness, 65% of participants experienced a noticeable improvement in symptoms after taking a 50mg dose.

Here are a few self-care tips for motion sickness that can enhance the effectiveness of Cinnarizine. When travelling by car, sit in the front seat, and if you're on a boat, choose a spot in the middle. Ensure you get plenty of fresh air and avoid eating heavy or greasy foods. Ginger can also be helpful in reducing nausea.

Do I need a prescription for Cinnarizine?
