Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), which is often used to treat motion sickness.

It is combined with pharmaceutical drugs to form stable salts, such as dimenhydrinate.

Dramamine is a brand name of dimenhydrinate.

Diphenhydramine is the primary constituent of dimenhydrinate and dictates the primary effect.

Dimenhydrinate (most commonly used as an antiemetic)

It is a 1:1 salt of diphenhydramine with acefylline, similar to the diphenhydramine/8-chlorotheophylline combination product dimenhydrinate.

As of 2008, most well-known hallucinogens (aside from dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine and dimenhydrinate) are illegal in most Western countries.

Dimenhydrinate (Gravol) is an inexpensive and effective medication for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine)

Synthetic compounds such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) are also deliriants.

To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid form of dimenhydrinate with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular tablespoon.

Chemically, dimenhydrinate is a salt (chemistry) of two drugs: diphenhydramine and 8-chlorotheophylline, a Halogenation derivative of the theophylline.

Included are antihistamines such as meclozine or dimenhydrinate, trimethobenzamide and other antiemetics, betahistine, diazepam, or ginger root.

As it causes marked sedation in many individuals, newer-generation antihistamines, including loratadine, cetirizine, and dimenhydrinate, may be preferred for antiemetic use.

As with dimenhydrinate, the stimulant effect of the acefylline counteracts the sedative effect from the diphenhydramine, resulting in an improved therapeutic profile.

Antihistamines such as dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) and meclizine (Antivert, Bonine) are usually the first choice for treating motion sickness.

The list is particularly helpful in providing generic names for products as well as trade names, which may be virtually all anyone remembers: for example, dimenhydrinate (Dramamine).

Take a nonprescription antinausea medicine, such as meclizine (Antivert or Bonine) or dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), or an antihistamine, such as Benadryl.

Over-the-counter medications such as Cinnarizine/Stugeron and prescription medications such as dimenhydrinate, scopolamine and promethazine (as transdermal patches and tablets) are readily available.

Certain antihistamines such as doxylamine or dimenhydrinate, taken as your doctor advises, may relieve morning sickness.1Doxylamine is a nonprescription medicine that is sold as Unisom Night-Time Sleep-Aid Tablets.

While dimenhydrinate is still used to prevent nausea and emesis, the development of the chemical meclozine has overtaken its usage (marketed as "Dramamine II") because meclozine is less likely to cause drowsiness.
