New Dramamine® for Kids and Less Drowsy

Dramamine®, the leading brand of motion sickness relief for adults, is expanding its line to include its new offering, just in time for the summer travel season: Dramamine® for Kids.

Dramamine® for Kids treats symptoms on the spot, relieving nausea, dizziness and vomiting and prevents motion sickness before it happens. Moms trust Dramamine®, believe it is safe, and feel comfortable giving it to their kids. Dramamine® for Kids comes in a safe, precise children’s dose, avoiding the need to cut adult tablets.

For adults, Dramamine® Less Drowsy relieves motion sickness symptoms with less drowsiness for up to 24 hours with only one tablet.

Motion sickness is a problem for both adults and kids alike. According to an Omnibus Study in June 2011, 34% of households with children ages 2-12, have a child with motion sickness. This is three times the rate for adult motion sickness (10% of households). Motion sickness is most prevalent in cars, followed by airplanes and boats. Typical symptoms are nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.

“When a family member gets sick on vacation, it’s a problem for the whole family,” says Madeline Blaize, Assistant Brand Manager for Prestige Brands. “Dramamine® for Kids and Dramamine® Less Drowsy can help prevent the problem, allowing everyone to enjoy that long awaited summer trip.”

Dramamine® for Kids comes in a safety travel case with 8 chewable tablets that have a great-tasting grape flavor. Dramamine® Less Drowsy is available in an 8 count travel vial.

My Take on the Products
We just got back from a trip and I was very happy to have this new kids product with us as my eldest daughter tends to get car sick when we are on longer trips. With the chewable form (which is good tasting so I am told), my daughter was more than willing to take the medicine that she needed to take and the medicine worked as promised as well. In the past when we had her the regular dramamine she always seemed a bit out of it, drowsy, loopy, and most of the time she would fall asleep soon after taking the medicine. I found with this, that I received the results needed for the ease of stomach issues, without the side effects that we had seen in the past (Yeah!). All-in-all, I was quite impressed and so was my daughter, so thank you Dramamine for this new less drowsy version as it really does work!
