Overview of Dimenhydrinate
Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine as well as an anticholinergic medication used to treat and manage nausea, motion sickness, vertigo and vomiting. The drug is renowned for its vestibular suppressant as well as antiemetic effects. Dimenhydrinate is widely used for travel-related medicine as well as to treat emetic issues.
This API appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with good stability under standard storage conditions. Its mechanism—antagonism of histamine H1 receptors and muscarinic receptors—suppresses vestibular stimulation and reduces nausea and vomiting associated with motion and other causes.
Related products include Meclizine, Promethazine, Ondansetron, and other antiemetic and antihistamine agents used to manage motion sickness and nausea.
