If you want to prevent motion sickness, you should use motion sickness medication before traveling. /Clip Art Korea Many people have planned long-distance trips to welcome the last sunset in 2023 and the first sunrise in 2024. Traveling is fun, but just thinking about the motion sickness that comes with long-distance travel is painful. If you want to enjoy a happy trip without motion sickness, use motion sickness medication appropriately.
◇You must use medicine before moving… Please note that the effect time varies depending on the product.
To get the full effect of motion sickness medication, you must use it before getting on the vehicle. Taking medication right before boarding or after motion sickness has already begun will not help. This is because motion sickness medication takes quite some time to take effect after administration.
The time it takes for the drug effect to appear varies depending on the type of drug. For example, one sheet of ‘Kimite’ should be attached to a dry, hairless area behind the ear at least 4 hours beforehand, and one bottle of ‘Toslong Liquid’ (30mL, for those over 15 years old) should be consumed 30 minutes beforehand. ‘Bonaring Chewable’ is effective when taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before treatment.
Even if you use motion sickness medicine on time, you should not add or take additional medicine because it is not effective. Motion sickness medication lasts quite a long time. In the case of Kimite, the effect lasts for 3 days. When using for more than 3 days, remove the first medicine and apply a new medicine on the other side. The same goes for Toslong or Bonaring. Additional doses must be taken at least 4 hours apart. It is also important to remember that the maximum number of doses per day is two.
On the other hand, even if motion sickness is painful, there are cases where it is better not to take motion sickness medication. Patients with glaucoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia. ‘Scopolamine’ and ‘dimenhydrinate’, an antihistamine used in motion sickness drugs, can cause increased intraocular pressure and worsen urinary disorders.
