| | Although the specific mechanism(s) of action of the effective antimotion sickness drugs is not known, a number of investigators have offered some general explanations, particularly for the effectiveness of the drug combinations. | | | Currently, the most effective antimotion sickness medications are scopolamine and promethazine, and both of these in combination with sympathomimetics (e.g., ephedrine and D-amphetamine). | | | The major classes of drugs that have been used in the treatment of motion sickness are anticholinergics (parasympatholytics), antihistamines, sympathomimetics, and sympatholytics. |

| | The clinical use of these drugs in motion sickness became an established practice before neurotransmitter circuitry and receptor subtypes were identified by modern neurochemical techniques. | | | Scopolamine (hyoscine) is the most effective drug for the prevention of motion sickness. | | | A possible explanation for the causation and pathogenesis of motion sickness is the neural mismatch and sensory rearrangement theory. |

| | Motion sickness |
| | Treating motion sickness can be accomplished by the prophylactic administration of antihistamines that have significant anticholinergic effects, but some evidence does support the use of nonpharmacologic therapies, such as ginger preparations and acupressure in traditional Chinese medicine. | | | Although susceptibility among individuals varies widely, motion sickness generally occurs when the body is subjected to accelerations of movement in different directions or under conditions in which visual stimuli, poor ventilation, and anxiety act in concert with linear or angular motion to precipitate an attack. | | | They have been used since the early 1980's to administer such drugs as scopolamine (effective against motion sickness). |

| | Unfortunately cisapride (a human drug) has recently been withdrawn from sale in the UK so there is currently no way of treating this disease. | | | This is a milder form of acute grass sickness. | | | This exciting research could lead to the development of a vaccine against this disease. |

| | Postgraduate Medicine: Motion sickness |
| | Characteristically, motion sickness begins with epigastric discomfort, often described as "stomach awareness," which is usually accompanied by increased salivation, eructation, and a feeling of bodily warmth. | | | It is now fairly widely accepted that motion sickness is caused by conflicting inputs between the visual and vestibular systems, or between the two vestibular systems, and comparison of those inputs with the individual's expectations derived from previous experience (5). | | | Some researchers suggest that there is another, distinct syndrome of motion sickness that lacks these gastrointestinal complaints and is instead characterized by drowsiness, headache, apathy, depression, and generalized discomfort (4). |

| | Avoid Sea Sickness |
| | The best way I have found to avoid sea sickness, is to fix your gaze upon a stable external reference point such as the horizon or some outcrop of land. | | | Whatever you call it, it feels miserable when it besets us. | | | If you have a couple of days to get your "sea legs"(this term applies to maintaining your balance and insofar as balance affects your tendency towards seasickness, it has come to apply to that also), you should have no trouble. |

| | Travel/Motion sickness is caused by repetitive pronounced movements which affect the vestibular (ie balance) mechanism of the inner ear. | | | However, if another traveller should be afflicted by air-sickness then this can trigger sickness in other passengers which has a partly psychological cause - the anticipation or expectation of possible sickness. | | | These remedies are also prescribed by naturopaths for morning sickness in pregnancy. |
