About Gravol Tablet

Gravol Tablet is used to prevent and treat nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), and dizziness caused by motion sickness. Besides this, it is also used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with radiation sickness, surgery, and drug-induced Meniere disease (feelings of spinning and inner ear problems). Motion sickness is an illness caused by motion during travel, characterised by nausea and vomiting.

Gravol Tablet contains Dimenhydrinate, which acts as both an antihistamine and an anticholinergic. It works by blocking histamine (H₁) receptors and muscarinic (M₁) receptors in the brain areas that control balance and nausea. This helps reduce the signals that cause motion sickness, leading to relief from nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

Gravol Tablet may cause side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, tiredness, disorientation, tinnitus, palpitations, and low blood pressure (hypotension). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, seek medical attention immediately if these side effects persist or worsen.

Notify your doctor if you have breathing problems (asthma, emphysema), high pressure in the eye (glaucoma), seizures (fits), liver, kidney, heart problems, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or sleep apnea (sleeping disorder). Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Gravol Tablet should not be given to children below 2 years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Gravol Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive or operate heavy machinery only if you are alert.
