Motion Sickness Treatment Online — Fast Relief for Travel Nausea & Dizziness
Headed out on a cruise, road trip, or flight and worried about motion sickness? TeleDirectMD connects you with a board-certified MD for just $49 via secure video. When appropriate, we’ll send same-day prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy so you can travel with confidence.
What Is Motion Sickness?
Motion sickness happens when your inner ear and visual signals don’t match during travel (car, boat, plane, VR). Typical symptoms include:
- Nausea, queasiness, or vomiting
- Dizziness or “sea legs” feeling
- Cold sweats, pallor, fatigue
- Headache and salivation
Planning ahead and starting the right medication before travel are the keys to prevention.

Medications We May Prescribe
| Category | Examples | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Antihistamines (anticholinergic) | Meclizine, Dimenhydrinate | Prevention and relief of nausea/dizziness; start before travel |
| Anticholinergic patch | Scopolamine (Rx) | Longer trips (e.g., cruises, flights); applied prior to departure |
| Adjunct anti-nausea | As clinically appropriate | When extra symptom control is needed |
We’ll tailor the regimen to your itinerary, prior response, and safety profile, and provide clear written timing instructions.
Non-Medication Strategies That Help

- Light meals; avoid heavy, spicy, or alcohol before and during travel
- Fresh air or cool airflow; brief breaks on road trips

FAQs
When should I start motion sickness medication?
Usually before travel begins. We’ll provide exact timing based on the medicine and your itinerary.
Will these medicines make me sleepy?
Some options can cause drowsiness. We’ll help you choose non-sedating or minimally sedating strategies if you need to remain alert.
Can I combine non-drug strategies with medication?
Yes. Combining seat selection, horizon focusing, and airflow with the right prescription plan often works best.
Is this safe if I have glaucoma or urinary issues?
We screen for conditions like narrow-angle glaucoma or urinary retention and will adjust your plan safely.
