WHAT IS GRAVOL™?

Gravol™ is a Canadian brand best known for products containing dimenhydrinate, a medication used for the prevention and treatment of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness.

The brand also offers Gravol™ Ginger products containing ginger rather than dimenhydrinate.

Because the active ingredients and intended uses differ between products, it is important to read the individual label and select the formula appropriate for your needs.

HOW DIMENHYDRINATE WORKS

Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine that acts on pathways involved in nausea, vomiting, and balance.

For motion sickness, it can help reduce signals between the inner ear and areas of the brain involved in the vomiting response.

Dimenhydrinate commonly causes drowsiness, which is an important consideration when driving, operating machinery, consuming alcohol, or taking other medications that cause sedation.

GRAVOL™ PRODUCT TYPES

Gravol™ Dimenhydrinate Tablets

Traditional oral tablets containing dimenhydrinate for the prevention and relief of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness.

They provide a convenient option for home, travel bags, and first-aid kits.

Gravol™ Chewable Tablets

Chewable formulations offer an alternative for individuals who prefer not to swallow conventional tablets.

Always check the individual package for active ingredient, strength, age restrictions, and dosing instructions.

Gravol™ Liquid Gels

Convenient soft liquid-filled capsules designed for adults who prefer a softgel format.

Check the product label carefully, as strengths and dosing recommendations vary between formulations.

Gravol™ Liquid

Liquid formulations provide flexible administration and may be particularly useful when an age-appropriate liquid product is preferred.

Use the supplied measuring device and follow weight- or age-specific directions exactly.

Gravol™ Suppositories

Suppositories provide a non-oral administration option, which may be useful when nausea or vomiting makes swallowing medication difficult.

Choose the appropriate strength and follow the product-specific directions.

Gravol™ Ginger

Gravol™ Ginger products contain ginger and provide a natural health product option for nausea and digestive upset.

Unlike conventional dimenhydrinate-containing Gravol™ products, ginger formulations are generally selected when a non-drowsy option is preferred.

The two product types contain different active ingredients and should not be treated as interchangeable.

MOTION SICKNESS & TRAVEL

Motion sickness occurs when the brain receives conflicting information from the eyes, inner ear, and other sensory systems involved in balance and movement.

Symptoms may include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Dizziness

• Sweating

• Pale skin

• General discomfort

Motion sickness can occur during:

• Car travel

• Air travel

• Cruises and boat trips

• Train travel

• Amusement rides

• Other activities involving repetitive movement

For prevention, some motion sickness products work best when taken before travel begins. Always follow the directions on the specific Gravol™ package.

GRAVOL™ FOR CHILDREN

Some Gravol™ products are specifically formulated or labelled for children.

Appropriate use depends on:

• The child’s age

• Body weight

• Product strength

• Dosage form

• Active ingredient

Do not assume that an adult Gravol™ product can simply be divided to create a pediatric dose. Always use the product-specific directions or ask a pharmacist when choosing a product for a child.

GRAVOL™ GINGER VS. REGULAR GRAVOL™

Regular Gravol™ products typically contain dimenhydrinate and are medications used to prevent and relieve nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness.

Gravol™ Ginger products contain ginger and provide a natural health product option for nausea and digestive upset.

One of the practical differences is that dimenhydrinate can cause significant drowsiness, whereas ginger formulations are generally non-drowsy.

AVAILABLE FORMATS

Depending on the specific Gravol™ product, options may include:

• Tablets

• Chewable tablets

• Liquid gels

• Liquid formulations

• Suppositories

• Ginger tablets or capsules

• Children’s formulations

Always verify the active ingredient and strength because different Gravol™ products may have substantially different directions.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT OPTION

• For conventional motion sickness relief: Consider an appropriate dimenhydrinate-containing Gravol™ product

• For a natural option: Consider Gravol™ Ginger

• For children: Select an age-appropriate pediatric formulation

• For difficulty swallowing tablets: Consider liquid or chewable options

• When oral medication cannot be retained: An appropriate suppository formulation may be available

• For travel: Choose a convenient format that can be taken according to label directions before symptoms begin

• For personalized recommendations: Consult our pharmacy team

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

Dimenhydrinate-containing Gravol™ can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and reduced alertness.

When using dimenhydrinate:

• Do not drive or operate machinery if affected

• Avoid alcohol

• Use caution with other medications that cause sedation

• Follow the recommended dose and maximum daily amount

• Do not use more frequently or for longer than directed

Consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional before use if you have a medical condition, take prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are selecting a product for a young child.

Frequent or prolonged use of dimenhydrinate can lead to tolerance, dependence, or misuse. Persistent or recurrent nausea should be medically assessed rather than repeatedly self-treated.

Seek medical attention for severe or persistent vomiting, signs of dehydration, blood in vomit, severe abdominal pain, significant neurological symptoms, or unexplained recurrent nausea.
