GRAVOL® Preparations

Dimenhydrinate
Antiemetic - Antivertigo

Indications And Clinical Uses: Prevention or relief of motion sickness,
radiation sickness, postoperative vomiting, and drug induced nausea and
vomiting; it has also been used for the symptomatic relief of nausea and
vertigo due to Ménière's disease and other labyrinthine disturbances.

Contra-Indications: Glaucoma, chronic lung disease, difficulty in

Manufacturers' Warnings In Clinical States: As dimenhydrinate has a CNS
depressant effect, the concomitant use of alcohol should be avoided.

Occupational Hazards: Patients receiving dimenhydrinate should be
cautioned against operating automobiles or dangerous machinery because of
drowsiness associated with the drug. If drowsiness is excessive, dosage
should be reduced.

Adverse Reactions: Drowsiness may be experienced by some patients,
especially at high dosages. Dizziness may also occur. Symptoms of dry
mouth, lassitude, excitement (especially in children) and nausea have
been reported."
