A member asked:

My 14 year old is going to go on a boat trip and i need to know what medicine i can give her to not get seasick. ( she also has asthma)?

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate): For a 14 year old over the counter dramamine (dimenhydrinate) should be fine. You can use the regular or the non drowsy. You can also try the sea bands that you wear on your wrists.

Scopolamine: She can use scopolamine patches behind the ear that last for 72 hours. Easy to use!
