Medication Information
Antivert is used to
prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused
by motion sickness. It is most effective if taken before
symptoms appear.
Antivert is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask
your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should Antivert be used?
Antivert comes as a
regular and chewable tablet and a capsule. For motion
sickness, Antivert should be taken 1 hour before you
start to travel. Doses may be taken every 24 hours if
needed. For dizziness caused by an ear condition, follow
your doctor's directions. Follow the directions on your
prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or
pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Take Antivert exactly as directed. Do not take more or
less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your
doctor.
The chewable tablets may be chewed or swallowed
whole.

medications, phenobarbital, sedatives, seizure

What should I do if I forget a dose?

the missed dose and continue your regular dosing
schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a
missed one.
