Does taking dramamine (dimenhydrinate) help vertigo when flying?

Yes: Antihistamines such as dramamine (dimenhydrinate) or bonine taken 30 to 60 minutes before take off may reduce the vertigo feeling when flying.

A member asked:

If Dramamine helps, does that mean lightheadedness (no spin) is related to vertigo? Dramamine makes me feel better and 6 hours later I start to feel bad again. I take another one and an hour later I feel better again. Its a cycle for days now.
