"Cyclizine is a versatile antihistamine frequently prescribed in the UK to manage symptoms of nausea and vomiting arising from various causes, including travel sickness, vertigo and post-operative recovery. As a sedating anti-emetic, it is particularly effective for those suffering from vestibular disturbances or inner ear issues that affect balance. It is a trusted first-line treatment for patients who require reliable relief from gastric upset and motion-induced sickness." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Cyclizine is an anti-emetic medicine used primarily to stop you from feeling or being sick, a condition medically known as nausea and vomiting. It is commonly used for motion sickness, vertigo, and sickness caused by other medicines or general anaesthetics after surgery.
The active ingredient in this medication is cyclizine hydrochloride, a piperazine-derivative antihistamine. Each tablet typically contains 50mg of the active substance, supported by inactive ingredients like lactose which help form the tablet structure.
Many users report that Cyclizine is highly effective at reducing the symptoms of travel sickness and dizziness within an hour of ingestion. While individual experiences vary, it is often praised for its dual action in treating both the feeling of nausea and the physical act of vomiting.
The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) is included in every box of medication and provides essential details regarding ingredients, safety and usage. You should read this document thoroughly before starting your treatment to understand the full profile of the medicine.
Cyclizine works by blocking histamine receptors in the brain and the vomiting centre, which prevents the transmission of signals that trigger the feeling of sickness. It also has anticholinergic properties that help stabilise the vestibular system in the inner ear, reducing the dizziness associated with motion.
You should swallow the tablet whole with a drink of water, and it can be taken with or without food depending on your preference. For the best results when preventing motion sickness, it is recommended to take the dose approximately one to two hours before you begin your journey.
The standard dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is one 50mg tablet taken up to three times daily. For children aged 6 to 12, the usual dose is half a tablet (25mg) up to three times a day, but you should always follow the specific instructions provided by your prescriber.
Like all medicines, Cyclizine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most side effects are mild and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication.
- Drowsiness or fatigue
- Dry mouth, nose or throat
- Blurred vision
- Headaches
- Constipation
You must avoid drinking alcohol while taking Cyclizine as it can significantly increase the sedative effects and make you feel very sleepy. This medication may also interact with other drugs, so you should inform your prescriber if you are taking any other treatments, especially antidepressants or strong painkillers.
Cyclizine is often compared to other antihistamines like Promethazine or Cinnarizine for the treatment of motion sickness. While all are effective, Cyclizine is frequently chosen for its rapid onset of action and its specific effectiveness for post-operative nausea.

Can I drive after taking Cyclizine?
You should not drive or operate machinery if Cyclizine makes you feel dizzy, sleepy or gives you blurred vision. It is your responsibility to ensure you are safe to drive after taking any medication.
Is Cyclizine suitable for morning sickness?
Cyclizine is sometimes used for pregnancy-related nausea, but you must only use it if specifically recommended by a doctor or midwife who has assessed your clinical needs.
How long does the effect last?
The effects of a single 50mg dose typically last between four and six hours, providing relief for most of the day if taken as directed.
