Stugeron Tablets

I started using Stugeron about five years ago when my daughter, who was in the Navy, recommended them. I can now travel by car, train and on a long haul flight without any sickness or nausea. Two tablets last for eight hours, then just one for another eight hours. Makes travelling much more comfortable so I can enjoy holidays. I thoroughly recommend them.

I gave my five year old son one tablet of Stugeron 15 and he had a terrible reaction, we were on holiday in Ecuador and had to go to the emergency room, when I told the doctor what I had given my son he was very shocked that this medication is recommended for children in England, In Ecuador and other countries they would never recommend such a strong medication for small children, there is also a lack of information regarding the ingredients. Doctors have told me to refrain from giving my son medication containing similar ingredients as he is is likely to react to them, however this is going to be very difficult to do as what this medicine contains is not readily available. Maybe suitable for adults but would not recommend for children at all. The makers of this medication should look at changing the recommended age allowed to take it. I was also shocked that my pharmacist was not aware of the possible reactions children can have with this medication.

Sturgeron (generic=cinnarizine) can be a great sea sick/motion sickness medication BUT you need to be careful about the dose. Sometimes when you buy it it comes in 75mg tabs and sometimes in 25mg. A 75mg tab will put you out like a light but if you start with 1/2 of a 25mg and increase to 25 mg if neccessary it is a wonder drug. I spent four years sailing 20,000 miles thorugh the Pacific and it worked for me every time. The brilliant thing about it is that you can take it even after you begin to feel seasick and it will have you feeling better in no time. According to what I have read it should not be given to children or pregnant women or Parkinson's patients.

Excellent medicin for vertigo,great price in my country 3.50 $ I recommend .

Recommended to me for vertigo. They didn't really work for that although in fairness it's not what they are for. The problem was they completely knocked me off my feet- I took one and within half an hour was sparko on the sofa for 5 hours! Most unlike me. Gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried another day but my body reacted in the same way. So I couldn't recommend them at all I'm afraid!

My husband and I can't speak highly enough of Stugeron as a sea sickness preventative. I am OK on deck of our yacht but cannot go below - with Stugeron I can cook, read etc. We both take 1/2 a tablet every 12 hours and honestly have never been sea sick. Just came back from a 'cruise' in 40-50 knot wind, 6m swell. Half the passengers didn't emerge from their cabins for 4 days - we never missed a meal! Fantastic stuff - makes you feel a bit 'spacey' but no other side effects ie dry mouth etc. I just wish you could buy it in Australia!!

My son, who is in Merchant Marine told me about it, says it sets concrete but need to know how to take it as if you take two it will virtually knock you out. Being the type of person who got sea sick on a pedalo (honest) and even walking across a gangplank can start me off, I now go on cruises and learnt to sail. Half a tablet the night before, half a tablet in the morning and a couple of halves through the day but never the full two tablets. Oh yes, looking at the horizon also helps, son never explained to me why, but it did. Stugeron opened up a whole new world for me, cant tell enough people about it.

Did not work for me at all, was sick after being on a boat for ten minuits. I am going to try Avomine next time

in a country as forward looking in the medical world as australia,it seems odd that people are left to suffer from travel sickness and other varied things that affect the ears.come on prime minister and look towards licencing stugeron (and maybe prochlorperazine.)this would save a lot of misery for sufferers who get no relief from their symptoms;especially the elderly who are more prone to these miserable symptoms.they are good value for money with the good relief people from travel sickness.i would liked to have known that these tablets suited me as kwells did not,but took advice from my doctor

CINARAZINE trade name Stugeron suit me fine. one tablet per day. dont make me fall asleep sailing. As a diabetic allow me to eat without feeling sick; other shorter/faster acting types do. Just accept one tablet wont suit everyone. Buy Cinazarine where poss as is cheaper than 'branded goods'
