WHAT CAN AVOMINE TABLETS BE USED FOR?

Avomine is a medicine which helps to prevent, and helps to stop, travel sickness. It is believed that travel sickness is caused when the brain receives different messages from the eyes, the stomach and the ears, which seem to be inconsistent or conflicting.

As a result, you feel sick (nausea) and may vomit. Avomine works on the brain by blocking those messages which make you feel sick and which cause vomiting.

Your doctor may, however, prescribe Avomine for giddiness or light headedness, or for sickness after an operation, and in such cases the tablet should be taken as instructed by your doctor.
