Product Information

Metoclopramide is a tablet used to speed up the emptying of your tummy. Slow emptying of the tummy is something that happens when you develop nausea and vomiting, so metoclopramide can help prevent this. It prevents nausea and vomiting quite effectively in some people. It can occasionally have unpleasant side-effects, particularly in children (in whom it is not recommended). Metoclopramide is often helpful for those who tend to have gastric reflux, those who have slow tummy emptying because of previous surgery, and those who have type 1 diabetes. Your GP will advise whether metoclopramide is suitable for you. Domperidone Its five different power settings are meant to match different degrees of gastrointestinal discomfort. The band emits an increasingly stronger electric pulse across your wrist, which tingles more with increasing levels. It is quite effective for most people, though some don’t experience the effects as significantly. Music can be a great distraction here. If your toddler is familiar with particular pieces of music they are more likely to be distracted from feeling ill – even if you have heard it hundreds of times before! 8. Head support is key Based on ancient Chinese medicine, the Nei-Guan (P6) point is located between 2 tendons on the inside of your arm. Steady pressure on these points triggers the pressure point reducing or stopping the feeling of nausea.

Try to prevent your child’s head from moving too much by making sure it is well-supported. 9. Do your pre-travel prep Try listening to an audio book with your eyes closed. There is some evidence that distracting your brain with audio signals can reduce your sensitivity to the motion signals. Keep your car cool and well ventilated – open the windows if possible - and make sure your child is not too warm. 4. Eyes on the horizon Remember, if you give children medicines which cause drowsiness they can sometimes be irritable when the medicines wear off. The control scheme will look familiar. It has a one button design that you long press to toggle power and short press to cycle between the five electrostimulation levels. The highest level is quite powerful and I only ever had to crank it up to 2 to avoid nausea from a VR gaming session, but then again, your results may vary.

The Reliefband Sport has five intensity settings, which you can cycle through to find the right balance to match your needs. The highest setting feels like a mild tingle and can be somewhat uncomfortable, but it certainly beats your body’s idea of triggering involuntary vomiting. Fortunately there are a number of ways to help make a journey much less stressful for both you and your child: 1. Time your journey

Try a cool flannel on your forehead, try to get fresh air on your face and do your best to find a way to rinse your mouth to get rid of the taste. For some, not having to buy batteries will be worth the hassle of having to recharge between long durations without use, but those with constant nausea may want a more consistent solution. The wristband recharges in just a few hours using a proprietary charging cable. It would be infinitely more convenient to use USB-C, but I’ve also been saying that about iPhones for years. Unless your wrist is unusually bulky or thin, the EmeTerm Antiemetic Stimulator Band is a great fit for anyone looking to quell nausea before it gets out of hand. Speaking of getting out of hand, consider pairing this band with a set of gamer gloves if you are using it as a VR gaming accessory. These go a long way toward keeping those slippery controllers in your hands.

It is advisable not to watch moving objects such as waves or other cars. Don't look at things your brain expects to stay still, like a book inside the car. Instead, look ahead, a little above the horizon, at a fixed place. Hyoscine, or scopolamine, patches are suitable for adults and for children over 10 years old. The medicine is absorbed through your skin, although this method of medicine delivery is slow so the patch works best if applied well before your journey. Try putting a protective sun-shade on the window on your child’s side of the car to help keep them looking forwards and also protect them from bright sunshine. 7. Use music as a distraction

Don't eat a heavy meal before travelling. Light, carbohydrate-based food like cereals an hour or two before you travel is best. Try to sleep - this works mainly because your eyes are closed, but it is possible that your brain is able to ignore some motion signals when you are asleep.Those looking for a go-anywhere electric neuromodulation device should look no further. The Reliefband Sport is an IPX7-rated alternative to the Reliefband 2 that is a little less high-tech and a little more durable.
