airsickness prescription

Seems like very few people in the U.S. have heard of it, but the most
effective prescription med for airsickness that I have found is
something called "Scopace". It is scopolamine in tablet form. Same drug
as in the very expensive anti-nausea patches. Much cheaper in tablet
form and the dose is easier to regulate. Extremely effective and fewer
side effects than the patch that way. I have had a scrip for it for
years for myself and my wife. Unfortunately, I was recently informed
that Scopace is no longer being manufactured due to a factory shutdown
or buyout or somesuch. Too bad. However, all is not lost. Exactly the
same drug is sold over-the-counter in Europe. The brand sold in Great
Britain sells under the name "Kwells" (the chemical name on the Kwells
package is "hyoscine hydrobromide" which is the more proper chemical
name for scopolamine). The Kwells tablets differ only in the dose.
Scopace was 40 milligrams. Kwells is 30 milligrams. That's actually a
more reasonable dose and will completely prevent motion sickness in a
180lb male for 6 hours. Confirmed by personal experience. Anyhow, you
can buy Kwells through the internet. I recently ordered a 12 tablet pack
from Chemist2go (on Amazon) for less than $8. Oh, and Kwells is chewable
unlike prescription Scopace which tastes nasty.

I cannot recommend this stuff enough, especially if you give a lot of
rides and find that no matter how gently you fly, passengers frequently
experience nausea. Give'em a Kwells 30 minutes before flight and you can
subject your pax to outside snap rolls after a lunch of greasy pork ribs
and they won't yack.

Fly safe,

WB
