Stugeron Tablets contain cinnarizine and are used to prevent and relieve symptoms of travel sickness, such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Cinnarizine is an antihistamine that works by reducing the effects of motion on the inner ear, which is responsible for balance and can trigger sickness during travel. By calming these signals, Stugeron helps maintain stability and reduces queasiness when travelling by car, boat, or plane.
The tablets are usually taken a few hours before a journey and can also help with ongoing feelings of nausea. Stugeron provides effective relief, making travel more comfortable and manageable.
