Drug Uses

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.

Warnings/Precautions

This medicine may cause drowsiness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to this medicine. This medicine will add to the effect of other depressants or alcohol. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines are depressants. It is unknown if this medicine is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using this medicine, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.

Missed Dose

Since Antivert is usually taken as needed, missing a dose is usually not a problem. If you are taking Antivert on a regular schedule and you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

Possible Side Effects

Stop taking Antivert and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Antivert and talk to your doctor if you experience drowsiness or dizziness; a dry mouth (may be relieved by sugarless gum, ice chips, saliva substitutes, or other products if bothersome); blurred vision; nervousness; insomnia; or constipation. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Storage

Dispense in tight, light-resistant containers. Store at controlled room temperature 15°-30°C (59°-86° F).

Overdose

If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include unusual excitability, drowsiness, hallucinations, very slow or shallow breathing, and seizures.

More Information

Antivert may increase the effects of other drugs that cause drowsiness, including antidepressants, alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives (used to treat insomnia), pain relievers, anxiety medicines, and muscle relaxants. Tell your doctor about all prescription and over-the-counter medicines that you are taking, and do not take any medicine without first talking to your doctor. Antivert is contraindicated in individuals who have shown a previous hypersensitivity to it. For more information, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or health care provider.

Q: How do you ship Antivert orders?

How does motion sickness affect our sense of balance?
The symptoms of motion sickness appear when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from the other four systems –– the inner ear, eyes, skin pressure receptors, and the muscle and joint sensory receptors. For example, imagine you are riding in an airplane during a storm, and the plane is being tossed about by air turbulence. But your eyes do not detect all this motion because all you see is the inside of the airplane. Consequently, your brain receives messages that do not coordinate with each other. You might become "air sick." Or suppose you are sitting in the back seat of a moving car reading a book. Your inner ears and skin receptors detect the motion of your travel, but your eyes see only the pages of your book. You could become "car sick."
Another example illustrates an actual medical condition. Suppose you suffer inner ear damage on only one side from either a head injury or an infection. The damaged inner ear does not send the same signals to the brain as the healthy ear. These conflicting signals about the sensation of rotation can result in a sense of spinning or vertigo, as well as nausea.
Is motion sickness a serious condition?
Not usually. For most people, motion sickness is just a minor annoyance (although it may not feel so minor at the time). Some travelers, however, can be incapacitated by motion sickness.
When do the nausea and vomiting of motion sickness stop?
The distressing symptoms of motion sickness usually stop when the motion that causes it ceases. But this is not always true. There are people who suffer symptoms for even a few days after the trip is over. This is called the "mal d'embarquement" syndrome or, more properly, the "mal de debarquement" syndrome. ("Mal d'embarquement" is embarkment or departure sickness while "mal de debarquement" is disembarkment or arrival sickness.)
What measures can be taken to prevent or minimize motion sickness?
If you know you are prone to motion sickness or if you are suffering from it, we recommend the following:
1. Always ride where your eyes will see the same motion that your body and inner ears feel.
* In a car, sit in the front seat and look at the distant scenery.
* On a boat, go up on the deck and watch the motion of the horizon.
* In an airplane, sit by the window and look outside.
* Also, in a plane, choose a seat over the wings where the motion is minimized.

2. Do not read while traveling if you are subject to motion sickness, and do not sit in a seat facing backward.
3. Do not watch or talk to another traveler who is having motion sickness.
4. Avoid strong odors and spicy or greasy foods that do not agree with you (immediately before and during your travel). Medical research has not yet investigated the effectiveness of popular folk remedies such as "soda crackers and 7 Up" or "cola syrup over ice," or ginger products.
5. Take one of the varieties of motion sickness medicines before your travel begins, as recommended by your physician.
How is motion sickness treated?
Antihistamine medications are commonly used in the prevention and treatment of motion sickness. These medicines seem to prevent and treat the nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness by calming the stimulation of the inner ear. Examples of antihistamines used for this purpose include meclizine (Bonine, Antivert, Dramamine). Another class of medications (belladonna) used to prevent motion sickness is represented by the scopolamine skin patch (Transderm Scop). This medicated skin patch is applied behind the ear at least four hours in advance of the motion activity. The medication is slowly absorbed directly into the underlying skin.
When used specifically to prevent motion sickness, regardless of the type of medication, these medicines generally are most effective when administered well before the motion activity takes place.
