Product Information / Press Release This medicine is used for the treatment of nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or vertigo of motion sickness. Dimenhydrinate works by affecting nerve pathways between the vomiting center and other controllers of the brain. Antihistamines, including dimenhydrinate, can cause anticholinergic side effects such as dryness of mouth and heart palpitations. Henbane also has anticholinergic activity and side effects. Therefore, use with dimenhydrinate could increase the risk of anticholinergic side effects,1 though apparently no interactions have yet been reported with dimenhydrinate and henbane. Henbane should not be taken except by prescription from a physician trained in its use, as it is extremely toxic. Dimenhydrinate causes drowsiness.2 Alcohol may intensify this effect and increase the risk of accidental injury.3 To prevent problems, people taking dimenhydrinate or dimenhydrinate-containing products should avoid alcohol.
