"Stugeron is a trusted clinical choice for patients who suffer from motion sickness or vestibular symptoms like vertigo and nausea. By targeting the receptors in the inner ear, it helps maintain balance and reduces the sensory conflict that causes travel-related illness." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Stugeron is a branded medication used primarily to control motion sickness and symptoms caused by balance or circulatory issues in the inner ear. It belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines which work specifically on the control centres of the brain and ear to prevent feelings of sickness and dizziness.

The active ingredient in Stugeron is cinnarizine. Each tablet typically contains 15mg of this compound which acts as a calcium antagonist and antihistamine to reduce the sensitivity of the labyrinth in the inner ear.

Many users report that Stugeron is highly effective for long journeys as it tends to be longer lasting than some other travel sickness remedies. While experiences vary, it is frequently praised for its ability to settle the stomach without causing the level of extreme drowsiness associated with older antihistamines.

The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) is included in every pack of Stugeron and contains essential data on ingredients and safety. You should read the PIL thoroughly before starting your treatment to understand the full clinical profile of the medication.

Stugeron works by interfering with the transmission of signals between the inner ear and the vomiting centre in the brain. By blocking histamine and calcium channels, it prevents the brain from receiving the confused signals that lead to nausea and vomiting during travel.

You should take Stugeron tablets after a meal to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. The tablets can be swallowed whole, chewed, or crushed depending on your preference, making them a versatile option for both adults and children.

The dosage for Stugeron depends on the condition being treated and the age of the patient. For motion sickness, it is usually recommended to take the first dose two hours before travel to ensure the active ingredient is fully absorbed into your system.

Common side effects of Stugeron may include drowsiness, weight gain, or indigestion. While many people experience no issues, you should be aware that antihistamines can affect everyone differently and may cause mild lethargy in some users.

You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking Stugeron as it can increase the sedative effects of the medication. Additionally, you should consult a healthcare professional if you have Parkinson’s disease, liver problems, or kidney issues before using this treatment.

Stugeron is often preferred over treatments like Hyoscine (Kwells) because it generally has a longer duration of action and a lower incidence of certain side effects like dry mouth. However, it may take longer to start working, which is why it must be taken well in advance of a journey.

Can I drive after taking Stugeron?

Stugeron may cause drowsiness in some individuals, so you should see how you react to the medication before driving or operating heavy machinery. If you feel sleepy or blurred, do not drive.

Is Stugeron available on the NHS?

Yes, Stugeron can be prescribed on the NHS for certain conditions, but many patients choose to buy it via a private online pharmacy like Mail my Meds for speed and convenience.

How long does one dose last?

One dose of Stugeron typically provides relief for approximately 8 hours, though this can vary based on individual metabolism and the severity of the motion.
