Description
Avomine Travel Sickness Promethazine 25mg Tablets are your go-to for preventing and addressing travel-related nausea and vomiting. Whether facing a lengthy sea journey or a brief car trip, Avomine provides effective relief by inhibiting histamine receptors, thus preventing inner ear disturbances from triggering the vomiting centre. Suitable for both adults and children over 10 years, it's a practical option for anyone susceptible to motion sickness. It's important to note, though, that drowsiness is a possible side effect, so one should refrain from driving or handling heavy machinery after consumption.

Usage and Instructions
In adults, taking one tablet should suffice to treat the symptoms of vertigo and motion sickness.
To treat symptoms in children above the age of 10, they should be given the lower adult dose of one tablet per day. For children between the ages of 5 and 10, however, half a tablet should be given each day.
To ensure Avomine is effective, tablets should be taken orally each night before bed. However, in more severe cases, two to three tablets may be necessary, taken at regular intervals throughout the day. It should not be necessary to take more than four tablets in any 24-hour period.
You should not take this medication for more than 7 days. If your symptoms have not improved by this point, you should contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Warnings
As dizziness and drowsiness are possible side effects, you should avoid operating machinery or driving a vehicle at least for the first few days of treatment until you are certain these particular side effects haven’t presented themselves.
A minor interaction with promethazine teoclate is that it can interfere with the results of skin tests to determine what you are or are not allergic to.

Make sure you stop taking this medicine at least 72 hours before any skin allergy tests are scheduled.
Similarly, you should also avoid taking Avomine tablets before a pregnancy test, as this medication can interfere with the accuracy of the results.
Please also note that if you experience any other side effects not listed here that you believe are a result of this treatment, talk to your doctor or pharmacist and consider reporting these side effects through the Government’s Yellow Card Scheme.
