I have no affiliation with this company, I have to say its the best seasickness medication we have tried. We both suffered from chronic Seasickness, until we used the medication from bovacompounding. I think they are in Cronulla, you can order over the phone and they post them.
No drowsiness, little or no side effects and best of all nil seasickness. We sailed from Pittwater to Newcastle yesterday and loved it!
A plain white tic tack swallowed with water works really well.....other than that don't bring the subject up or stay on shore.
Sounds promising is it the ET seasickness one, or did you have it made up?
prescription?
cost?
cheers

Yes it's the ET ones, they work out at about $2 a tablet. For us it's well worth it! We're out here cruising, living the dream now enjoying the passage as well as the destination.
I have used ET seasickness tablets for years and they are brilliant. No seasickness even in really nasty crap (bashing into 25kts that is blowing against a 3 kt current when others are barfing around you), no drowsiness and very little dryness in the mouth.
No other side effects either.
They have a 6 month shelf life. I used them once when they were about a year old, 6 months out of date, and they didn't work as well. I was solo on a night sail off the coast and, while I wasn't sick, I didn't feel great.
Very highly recommended. Available from Bova Compounding chemists in Caringbah. 02 9525 3044. They were @29.95 for 10.
For those averse to taking drugs, there's a mobile phone App that plays certain frequencies of sound (embedded in a cover layer of music) that (according to the science behind it) affects the middle ear in a way that counters nausea. The App is called "Nevasic" and is acquired like any other mobile phone app. Apparently an NHS test revealed some women get relief from morning sickness.
I tend to be a bit sceptical about such things, but it does not come across as a scam and as I say, those averse to drugs may just want to experiment with it (app costs less than most drugs) on the off chance it reduces symptoms significantly. If it did, it would be real convenient.
Travelcalm Wristbands worked a treat for my partner in 20-25kn 1.5 - 2m swell just last week. First time in 12 mths she hasn't been sick.
The old remedy was to drink a pint of salt water ! However, a Kwell tablet works well on my Grandaughter.
Many decades back there was a solution which came from NASA. So the story goes, space sickness remedies would either send you to sleep or keep you buzzing for hours. Not good on a space flight. Some lateral thinker said why not take one of each. Eureka!
I tried it with visitors on my boat and it worked. One phernagan and one pseudo ephadrine tablet. At the time I just bought them over the counter. Would not suggest you try it today.
As long as the cover layer isn't jimmy buffett....
