Question : Hi I'm from Ukiah California and I fission the ocean. I was shocked to find out that the drug Triptone was taken off the market. The only drug that I have found that works. Is there a way for a place to find some out of side the United States. I guess my question is how to get some. Or are there prescription drugs with the same ingredients.

Brief Answer:
Dramamine is essentially the same drug.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Triptone contains dimenhydrinate which is essentially the same generic content in dramamine. As I am aware of dramamine is available over the counter in most states. You can try this brand instead of triptone before searching for other prescription brands.

I guess that solves the problem. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
