Antivert is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body. Antivert is used to treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness. Antivert may also be helpful in treating vertigo. This medicine may also be used for other purposes.

How Taken

Antivert comes as a regular and chewable tablet and a capsule. For motion sickness, Antivert should be taken 1 hour before you start to travel. Doses may be taken every 24 hours if needed. For dizziness caused by an ear condition, follow your doctor's directions. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Antivert exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. The chewable tablets may be chewed or swallowed whole.

Motion sickness is an acute condition of medical distress that results in skin pallor, weakness, nausea and vomiting. It often starts as stomach discomfort, bodily warmth, headache, dizziness and/or drowsiness, then proceeds to stomach distress, then nausea and vomiting. Also known by its 3 major venues – seasickness, car sickness, airsickness – motion sickness occurs when your body is being passively transported by a vehicle (boat, car, train, airplane, amusement park ride) that is propelled by its own power. This can create a “sensory conflict” of information to the brain, which responds by sending distress signals to the rest of the body, particularly the autonomic nervous system and (unfortunately) the stomach. These sensory conflicts typically happen in rough air turbulence, heavy waves at sea, and when there is acceleration and sudden, unexpected motion in different directions. But motion sickness can also happen because of differences between perceived motion and actual motion. Consider, for example, reading a book in the back seat of a car (actual motion, but no perceived motion) or virtual reality flight training simulators (perceived motion, but no actual motion). Both are known to cause motion sickness symptoms. According to the experts, almost everyone will get motion sickness if the conditions are extreme enough. In rough seas, nearly all the occupants of a life raft will vomit. A large study (535 subjects) done in India, found the prevalence of motion sickness was about 27%. Among EMT ambulance personnel, 46% report problems with nausea. 7% of seagoing cruise ship passengers report vomiting. And 60% of student aircrews get airsickness during training.
