Dramamine Advanced Herbals Ginger

Non-drowsy ginger capsules for mild motion sickness

Non-drowsy ginger capsules that help prevent and relieve nausea from motion sickness, labeled for adults and children 6 and up. 18 capsules per pack.

Our take

Some motion-sickness medicines make you drowsy. That's fine on an overnight ferry. It's less fine when you land and have a whole day ahead of you.

Ginger is the non-drowsy option. These capsules are labeled to help prevent and relieve nausea from motion, for adults and kids 6 and up, and the small pack fits in a day bag. They're for the queasy feeling on winding roads, ferries and bumpy flights. On rough seas or long boat trips, many people find ginger isn't enough and need a stronger medicine.

If your motion sickness is mild, start here. If you know you get properly seasick and you're booking a boat trip, ask a pharmacist or doctor what to take instead, especially for kids. Check the price before you book.

Who it’s for

Travelers and families with mild motion sickness who want a non-drowsy option for car, boat or plane trips.

Skip it if

Skip it if you get strong seasickness on cruises or boat tours. A pharmacist can recommend a stronger motion-sickness medicine.
