No more car sickness with Dramamine! {Review & Giveaway}

I was NOT compensated for this post. I received FREE products to review. All thoughts/opinions are my own. Your experience may differ.

I'm pretty sure that I've told you that my mom suffers from car sickness due to her Meniere's Disease. We have tried everything, but have found Dramamine to be the answer to her car sickness!

Dramamine, the leading brand of motion sickness relief for adults is now extending its line to include Dramamine for Kids! Dramamine for Kids treats motion sickness symptoms on the spot, relieving nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and when taken prior to traveling, prevents motion sickness before it happens! Dramamine for Kids comes in a safety travel case with 8 chewable tablets with a grape flavor.

For adults, Dramamine Less Drowsy prevents motion sickness symptoms up to 24 hours with less drowsniess and only one tablet. Dramamine Less Drowsy is available in a 8-count travel vial.

Ready for surprising stats on motion sickness? According to an Omnibus Survey in June 2011, 24% of households with children ages 2-12, have a child with motion sickness. This is three time the rate for adult motion sickness (11% of households). Motion sickness is more prevalent in cars, followed by airplanes and boats. Typical symptoms are nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.

You can find Dramamine on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

WHAT WE THOUGHT
Our family loves to get out and ride around, but we hardly do because of Mom's motion sickness. We have tried generic motion sickness, but it doesn't work for long. We have even tried herbal remedies that worked for maybe 30 minutes and she would be back to feeling sick. One time we were about an hour from home when we had to pull over because she couldn't handle the rushing trees. Luckily we had Dramamine with us and we were able to resume our trip.

Dramamine Tote W/ Dramamine!

Does Dramamine truly work? Absolutely! Within 30 minutes of taking it, she was feeling fine and continued to feel fine through out the rest of our adventure. Does it last a long time? Taken as per the directions, yes! For Dramamine for Kids, it does work. Our cousin gave some to her son during the Holidays and told us that it helped his motion sickness troubles!

Since we plan to do a lot of discovering Texas through day trips this year, we will most likely pack a lot of Dramamine in the Dramamine tote so that we know exactly where it is just in case Mom has a motion sickness attack!

Dramamine Less Drowsy Review

Motion sickness is more common than you think, and no one is really immune from it. In fact, when I was little, I would get motion sickness from long car rides. So one year when we went to Six Flags, I couldn't enjoy it because I was so sick! But if you're like me, taking medicines can make you sleepy.

Dramamine has come out with a new Less Drowsy formula and a brand new Dramamine for Kids! According to an Omnibus Study in June 2011, 34% of households with children ages 2-12, have a child with motion sickness. This is three times the rate for adult motion sickness (10% of households). So when your child has the symptoms of motion sickness (which include nausea, dizziness, and
vomiting), reach for Dramamine for Kids instead of stomach upset medicines that are more for adults.


Dramamine for Kids treats symptoms on the spot and prevents motion sickness before it happens! It also comes in a safe, precise children's dose, avoiding the need to cut tablets or figure out how much to give them of the liquid stuff.

If you're an adult and suffer from motion sickness, Dramamine Less Drowsy relieves motion sickness with even less drowsiness for up to 24 hours with just one tablet! So you no longer have to gauge when to take your medicine and risk feeling drowsy!

Dramamine for Kids comes in a safety travel case with 8 chewable tablets in a grape flavor. Dramamine Less Drowsy is available in an 8-count travel vial.

WHAT MOM THOUGHT
This time, it's Mom who reviewed it (since I don't suffer from motion sickness anymore)! Because of her medical conditions, she suffers from motion sickness when she's in the car, at an overlook (like the top of Camera Park, and sometimes when her vertigo (due to her Meniere's Disease) attacks her while she's sitting down.

But Dramamine has helped her, especially when she goes with us when we do our errands!

Because she's up to blogging yet, she has designated me to type out what she thought about it. Now keep in mind that Dramamine for Kids is not adult use and since I have no children of my own (or local friends who have children), I cannot post a review for that.

Dramamine Less Drowsy (Meclizine HCI 25mg)- She took the Dramamine Less Drowsy once a day without any side effects! It got rid of her lightheadedness and motion sickness that she suffers from. Aside from prevent motion sickness for 24 hours, it actually helped keep the lightheadedness at bay! Dose: 1-2 tablets daily.

So was it helpful in combating Mom's motion sickness? Survey says- yes!
