Is there anything stronger than Dramamine?

Drugs that are used include scopolamine (prescription only), dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), and meclizine (Bonine). Scopolamine is more effective than any of the over-the-counter treatments available because it reduces symptoms and has less of a sedative effect.

While they're both OTC medications that can be taken for motion sickness, meclizine is less likely to cause sleepiness than dimenhydrinate. In addition, meclizine lasts longer in your body - a single dose of meclizine can last 8 to 24 hours, whereas dimenhydrinate is typically taken every 4 to 6 hours.
